Chapter
General Notions
We consider the motion of a thermally inhomogeneous fluid rotating with a constant angular velocity. The detailed development of the set of equations describing the processes in this situation can be found in ...

Chapter
Convection from Local Sources
In the three previous Chapters 2–4 we have considered the two limiting cases of heating in the horizontal and in the vertical and their different combinations. These are the simplest cases and in a sufficientl...

Chapter
Convection in Spheres and Spherical Shells
Many problems of motions in stars, planetary atmospheres and cores require description of convection in spherical shells and within spheres which may be considered as a partial case of a sphere with zero inter...

Chapter
Introduction
Spatial inhomogeneity of heating of fluids in the gravity field is the cause of all motions in nature: in the atmosphere and oceans on Earth, in astrophysical and planetary objects. All natural objects are rot...

Chapter
Centrifugal Effects
In rotating systems centrifugal forces are always present. These forces are described by two additional terms in the momentum equation (1.1): by an addition to the pressure field

Chapter
Geophysical and Astrophysical Applications and Analogies
All natural object are rotating. The range of the periods of them allowing hydrodynamic description spreads from milliseconds (neutron stars) to many months (e.g. the planet Venus with a period of 224 days = 1...

Chapter
Horizontally Temperature-Inhomogeneous Rotating Annuli
Convection in rotating inhomogeneously heated annuli is the second simplest case for the mutual positions of the three main determining vectors: the vector of the gravity acceleration, ̄g, and the vector of th...

Chapter
Plane Horizontal Homogeneous Layer
Studies of convective motions in a plane horizontal layer with and without rotation have been considered in some detail in the monographs by Chandrasekhar (1961), Hopfinger (1992) and in the review by Yavorska...

Chapter
Vertically and Horizontally Inhomogeneous Heating
In the nature and in many technical applications there are quite often situations when there is an external heating not only in the horizontal but also in the vertical. From the theoretical point of view, this...
