Explore fundamental processes of rotating convection in geophysics and astrophysics through this recorded lecture from IPAM's Rotating Turbulence Workshop. Delve into commonly used idealized simulation geometries, with particular emphasis on cylindrical configurations, and understand their respective strengths and limitations. Examine the crucial role of the Prandtl number in rotating convection, discovering how numerical simulations offer unique advantages over experimental approaches in varying this control parameter. Learn about rotating magnetoconvection simulations and gain insights into the complex interactions between Coriolis and Lorentz forces in geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics. Through Coventry University professor Susanne Horn's expertise, grasp how numerical simulations serve as essential tools alongside theory and experiments in understanding these fundamental physical processes.
