A ubiquitous arrangement in nature is a free-flowing fluid coupled to a porous medium, for example a river or lake lying above a porous bed. Depending on the environmental conditions, thermal convection can occur and may be confined to the…

Numerical simulations of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in an ideal gas, using either the anelastic approximation or the fully compressible equations, are compared. Theoretically, the anelastic approximation is expected to hold in…

We investigate the influence of the thermal properties of the boundaries in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection on analytical upper bounds on convective heat transport. We model imperfectly conducting bounding plates in two ways: using…
A bidisperse porous medium is one with two porosity scales. There are the usual pores known as macro pores but also cracks or fissures in the skeleton which give rise to micro pores. In this article we develop and analyse a model for…

Pushing two fluids with different density one against the other causes the development of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at their interface, which further evolves in a complex mixing layer. In porous media, this process is influenced by…

Unlike the power-law model, the Ellis model describes the apparent viscosity of a shear-thinning fluid with no singularity in the limit of a vanishingly small shear stress. In particular, this model matches the Newtonian behaviour when the…
