The dynamics of convection in the fluid shell between two concentric rotating spheres under a central force field was investigated using a specially designed experimental setup where the spherically symmetric and center directed force field, similar to the gravity field acting on planets, was produced by applying a high-voltage potential difference between the outer and the inner spherical shells. Some of the results obtained are similar to the observations of cloud- and band-zones in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Numerical calculations were performed to simulate the instationary flow situations for experiments in microgravity under comparable conditions.
