Using direct numerical simulations, this study investigates the transitions between turbulent states in rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection. The focus is on the change from a three-dimensional flow state to a quasi-two-dimensional condensate called the large-scale vortex (LSV). The study examines the strength of the LSV in terms of order parameters and evaluates the energetic content in the flow and the upscale energy flux. The results reveal discontinuous transitions, the presence of a hysteresis loop, and a memoryless abrupt growth dynamics. Additionally, a discontinuous transition of the energy transport into the largest mode of the system coincides with the creation of the condensate state.
Using direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection, we explore the transitions between turbulent states from a three-dimensional (3-D) flow state towards a quasi-2-D condensate known as the large-scale vortex (LSV). We vary the Rayleigh number Ra as control parameter and study the system response (strength of the LSV) in terms of order parameters, assessing the energetic content in the flow and the upscale energy flux. By sensitively probing the boundaries of the region of existence of the LSV in parameter space, we find discontinuous transitions and we identify the presence of a hysteresis loop as well as a memoryless abrupt growth dynamics. We show furthermore that the creation of the condensate state coincides with a discontinuous transition of the energy transport into the largest mode of the system.
