Great video demonstration !

I really like the massive label on the bucket, so we can’t actually see inside it.

Hello Tobs 1022. Yes it was uploaded before, we just needed to make a small update to it.

Hi, great video! Just wondering, where is the radial heat transport largest? Thanks :)

Nice experiment.

All I see is a round tank rotating. Why should this be a simulation of a real front situation and exhibiting Coriolis effects? My interpretation: The round tank walls forces the fronts to flow along them... otherwise I appreciate your experiments, great demos.

hasn't this been uploaded before?

Awesome video. What was the rotation speed? Hoe long for rigid body rotation?
Many thanks
