contents In this study, we investigate the coupling effects of roughness and wall shear in an annular centrifugal Rayleigh-Bénard convection (ACRBC) system, where two cylinders rotate with different angular velocities. Two-dimensional direct numerical simulations are conducted within a Rayleigh number range of $10^{6} \leq Ra \leq 10^{8}$, and the non-dimensional angular velocity difference ($\varOmega$), representing wall shear, varied from 0 to 1. The Prandtl number is fixed at $Pr = 4.3$, the inverse Rossby number at $Ro^{-1} = 20$, and the radius ratio at $η= 0.5$. The interaction between wall shear and roughness leads to distinct heat transfer behavior in different regimes. In the buoyancy-dominant regime, an increase in the non-dimensional angular velocity difference ($\varOmega$) significantly enhances heat transfer. However, as $\varOmega$ continues to rise, a sharp reduction in heat transfer is observed in the transitional regime. Beyond a critical value of $\varOmega$, the flow enters a shear-dominant regime, where heat transfer remains unchanged despite further increases in $\varOmega$.
