Abstract
The effect of rotation on nonlinear thermal convection is investigated, in particular at high Rayleigh number. The Boussinesq approximation is adopted in the basic equations and the free boundary conditions are applied. The results derived from asymptotic and perturbation methods are found to be in very good agreement with those obtained by numerical integration.Keywords
