Toward Understanding Polar Heat Transport Enhancement in Subglacial Oceans on Icy Moons

The interior oceans of several icy moons are considered as affected by rotation. Observations suggest a larger heat transport around the poles than at the equator. Rotating Rayleigh‐Bénard convection (RRBC) in planar configuration can show an enhanced heat transport compared to the non‐rotating case...
