Convection in radial force fields is a fundamental process behind weather on Earth and the Sun, as well magnetic dynamo action both. Until now, benchtop experiments have been unable to study convection due inability generate forces of sufficient strength. Recently, it has appreciated that sound, when averaged over many cycles, exerts density gradients gas travels through. The acoustic radiation pressure thermal draws cooler regions with large time-averaged velocity can be modeled an...
