Internal heating in rapidly rotating convection is not a shortcut to geostrophic turbulence
Convective turbulence in planets and stars is often driven by internal heating. This forcing mechanism has also been proposed as a means of accessing the diffusion-free scalings of the geostrophic turbulence (GT) regime at modest forcing. We test this with the asymptotically reduced quasi-geostrophic model, which is fo...
