Explore wall modes in rotating convection through this 52-minute lecture presented by Edgar Knobloch from UC Berkeley at IPAM's Rotating Turbulence Workshop. Discover the fundamental properties of wall modes and their connection to boundary zonal flows, which impact heat flux measurements in laboratory studies of geostrophic turbulence. Learn how these persistent modes, while resilient to domain geometry changes and bulk turbulence, can be effectively suppressed through specific experimental interventions. Gain insights into how this suppression technique enables more accurate laboratory studies of geostrophic turbulence, with practical applications for experimental design and measurement accuracy.
