Critical transition in fast-rotating turbulence within highly elongated domains

Abstract: We study rapidly rotating turbulent flows in a highly elongated domain using an asymptotic expansion at simultaneously low Rossby number Roll1 and large domain height compared to the energy injection scale, h=H/ellingg1. We solve the resulting equations using an extensive set of direct numerical simulations for different parameter regimes. As the parameter lambda=(hRo)−1 is increased beyond a threshold lambdac, a transition is observed from a state without an inverse energy cascade to a state with an inverse energy cascade. } For large Reynolds number and large horizontal box size, we provide evidence for criticality of the transition in terms of the large-scale energy dissipation rate.
