Isotherms (left) and azimuthal vorticity (η) contours (right) of
the axisymmetric periodic puffing plume state at
Gr=3.5x105, Ar=Az=2, AT=1
and σ=7; there are 20 contour levels in [-0,5,0.5] for T and
[-105,105] for η.

Isotherms (left) and azimuthal vorticity (η) contours (right) of
the axisymmetric periodic puffing plume state at Gr=106,
Ar=Az=2, AT=1 and σ=7; there
are 20 contour levels in [-0,5,0.5] for T and

(a) Isosurfaces of azimuthal vorticity η of the rotating wave
state RW at Gr=2x105, Ar=Az=2,
AT=1 and σ=7; the isosurface levels are at η=
±1000.
(b) Isosurfaces of azimuthal vorticity η of the VLF
state at Gr=3.5x105, Ar=Az=2,
AT=1 and σ=7; the isosurface levels are at η=
±1000.
