FURTHER STUDIES OF THERMALLY DRIVEN MOTIONS IN A ROTATING FLUID

Abstract

The transitions from the lower forced symmetric regime to the wave regime, within the wave regime itself and from the wave regime to the upper symmetric regime, are discussed by making use of the solution of a simplified version of the differential equation. It is found that the main features of these various transitions obtained by Fultz in some new experiments can be explained by the theories developed in this note and in the previous studies.
