We simulate numerically Boussinesq convection in non-rotating spherical shells for a fluid with a unity Prandtl number and Rayleigh numbers up to $10^9$. In this geometry, curvature and radial variations of the gravitationnal acceleration…
Boundary layers of adiabatic and isothermal curved walls are investigated for a supersonic turbine cascade, including the effects of shock-boundary layer interactions (SBLIs). Wall-resolved large eddy simulations (LES) are performed for a…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow are performed up to inner cylinder Reynolds numbers of {Re_i=10^5} for a radius ratio of {\eta=r_i/r_o=0.714} between the inner and outer cylinder. With increasing {Re_i}, the…
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 study the structure of the thermal boundary layer (BL) in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection for Prandtl number ($Pr$) 0.021 by conducting direct numerical simulations in a two-dimensional square box for Rayleigh numbers ($Ra$) up to $10^9$.…
Measurements of wall shear-stress fluctuations on very long timescales ($\ge$ 1900 free-fall time units) are reported for turbulent Rayleigh-Benard (RB) convection in air at the heated bottom plate of a RB cell, 2.5 m in diameter and 2.5 m…
This study presents an experimental dataset documenting the evolution of a turbulent boundary layer downstream of a rough-to-smooth surface transition. To investigate the effect of upstream flow conditions, two groups of experiments are…

Boundary layers play an important role in controlling convective heat transfer. Their nature varies considerably between different application areas characterized by different boundary conditions, which hampers a uniform treatment. Here, we…
