Abstract
For the model of thermal turbulence in the Boussinesq approximation with heating from below a change in the structure of the nonlinear interaction of the harmonics of the velocity field with the appearance of rotation is examined. The parameters of convection with rotation are chosen in such a way to correspond to the typical regimes in the models of the planetary dynamo. For such regimes, the structure of the triadic mechanism of the kinetic energy transfer through the spectrum is investigated.
