摘要 (Abstract): 

Convection is commonplace in the interiors of stars and planets and is believed to be responsible for the magnetic field generation, mixing and angular momentum transport. Rotation usually plays a dominant role in convection in stars and planets. Motivated by geophysical and astrophysical applications, rotating convection has been studied for decades since the problem was first formulated by Chandrasekhar (1961), yet the nonlinear and turbulent regimes remain poorly understood. In this talk, I will briefly review studies of rotating convection in spherical geometries and present our recent numerical simulations of thermal convection in a rotating sphere. I will present the new mechanism and flow regimes that we found through numerical simulations and discuss astrophysical implications of our numerical results.
