Experimental study of rotating convection in the presence of bi-directional thermal gradients with localized heating

We conduct experiments on the convective dynamics of a rotating fluid in a novel configuration, which comprises of a cylindrical annulus with peripheral spot heating at the bottom on the outer edge and uniform cooling on the inner edge. This system naturally provides an additional vertical gradient...
