Abstract
Convection driven by centrifugal buoyancy in a rotating cylindrical annulus exhibits dynamical behavior quite different from that of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a layer heated from below. The present analysis extends the work of Or and Busse (1987) for stress-free cylindrical walls to the experimentally relevant case of no-slip boundaries. While the major bifurcations of convection flows are preserved, the details of the stability regions are changed and new instabilities are found.
