Explore a 46-minute research lecture examining rapidly rotating radiatively driven thermal convection through laboratory experiments and direct numerical simulations (DNS). Delve into the validation of 'geostrophic turbulence' regime scaling predictions, focusing on heat transport, temperature fluctuations, flow speed, and characteristic horizontal scale in diffusivity-free rotating convection. Learn how radiatively driven convection serves as a versatile laboratory setup for observing diffusivity-free regimes in various convective flows relevant to geophysical and astrophysical applications. Presented by Basile Gallet of CEA - Saclay at IPAM's Rotating Turbulence Workshop, the talk provides insights into the interplay between bulk and boundary dynamics in rotating turbulence systems.
