Eddy Heat Transport in the Tank

Likewise, four thermistors were placed in the tank when the rotational speed was increased and thus the Coriolis parameter augmented to a point when the regime would shift to one of eddy heat transport. Figure 2.0 illustrates the positions of said thermistors:

It would be anticipated that the greatest temperatures would be found at thermistor 1, and the coolest in turn at thermistor 3 or 4. Figure 2.1 depicts the trace of thermistors' reports during the duration of the experiment:

Though difficult to discern due to the technical limitations of Wiki, it becomes clear that the warmest temperatures were, in fact, recorded at thermistor 1, with the chilliest readings located at thermistor 3. This is exactly what would be expected. Unlike the gentler slope within the laminar fluid, however, the eddy transport nature of this second trial of the experiment lead to an oscillating, varying "stair step" pattern in temperature measurements.
