Jets in the lab

In natural settings, zonal jets develop from rapidly rotating turbulence in the presence of strong boundary curvature. In particular, the Coriolis force must dominate the fluid’s inertia, which, in turn, must dominate the viscous dissipative effects. We gathered all these dynamical ingredients in a single laboratory device that emulate Jupiter like zonal jets. More about the experiment can find at this link.
