From: Turbulence in Earth’s core generates large topographic torques on the mantle
Visualizations for the most turbulent simulation: Ek = 10−6, \(\widetilde{Ra}=60\), and ϵ = 0.2. a meridional cross-section of the instantaneous vertical velocity; b equatorial cross-section of the instantaneous temperature field with the conductive profile and zonal-average removed. c Time- and depth-averaged pressure. Blue (brown) corresponds to pressure lows (highs). The circular arrow in (c) indicates the direction of the cyclonic flow over the bump.
