The structure of flow and heat exchange in a horizontal, 
heated from below, layer of liquid whose boundaries can rotate with 
the same and different angular velocities have been studied numerically 
and experimentally. The relative role of buoyancy and centrifugal 
forces in the formation of the flow structure of liquids with Pr = 16 
and 2700 was investigated.
