Periodically-driven flows are known to generate non-zero, time-averaged fluxes of heat or solute species, due to the interactions of out-of-phase velocity and temperature/concentration fields, respectively. Herein, we investigate such…

In turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection one seeks the relationship between the heat transport, captured by the Nusselt number, and the temperature drop across the convecting layer, captured by Rayleigh number. In experiments, one measures…
Solid state convection can take place in the rocky or icy mantles of planetary objects and these mantles can be surrounded above or below or both by molten layers of similar composition. A flow toward the interface can proceed through it by…

We consider the steady heat transfer between a collection of impermeable obstacles immersed in an incompressible 2D potential flow, when each obstacle has a prescribed boundary temperature distribution. Inside the fluid, the temperature…
