Spherical shell rotating convection simulation
This dataset includes numerical simulation data of bottom heated convection in a rotating spherical shell. These numerical models are used to investigate the dynamics of convection in planetary cores. The simulations are performed over a range of thermal forcing and rotation rate [1-3] to study the various dynamical regimes of rotating convection. The dataset includes the simulation states to reproduce the simulations, time-series output of relevant variables from the simulations apart from post-processed diagnostic quantities. Due to large volume of the simulation state files only the initial, final and time averaged files are stored in the dataset in NETCDF format. The simulation diagnostics are provided in text, which includes time series, spatial and temporal averages of various diagnostic quantities (e.g. kinetic energy of convection) and forces to assess the underlying dynamics and heat transfer behaviour. The simulations have been performed using the Leeds Spherical Dynamo code [4], using ARC2, ARC3 and ARC4 HPC system in University of Leeds and the ARCHER and ARCHER2 HPC system. Refs: [1]
