The effect of domain anisotropy on the inverse cascade occurring within the geostrophic turbulence regime of rapidly rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection is investigated. In periodic domains with square cross-section in the horizontal, a domain-filling dipole state is present. For rectangular periodic domains, a Kolmogorov-like flow parallel to the short side and consisting of a periodic array of alternating unidirectional jets with embedded vortices is observed, together with an underlying weak meandering transverse jet. Similar transitions occurring in weakly dissipative two-dimensional flows driven by externally imposed small-amplitude noise and in classical hydrostatic geostrophic turbulence are a consequence of inviscid conservation of energy and potential enstrophy, and can be understood using statistical mechanics considerations. Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection represents an important three-dimensional system with only one inviscid invariant which nonetheless exhibits large-scale structures driven by intrinsically generated fluctuations.
