Observation of a link between energy dissipation rate and oscillation frequency of the large-scale circulation in dry and moist Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence

Abstract

An investigation of both the large- and small-scale flow properties of moist and cloudy, turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection suggests that the large scale circulation is insensitive to phase composition/interfacial physics; rather, it depends only on the strength of the turbulence.
