We study the effects of polymer additives on turbulence generated by the ubiquitous Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Numerical simulations of complete viscoelastic models provide clear evidence that the heat transport is enhanced up to 50% with…
We studied the thermal conductivity of superfluid $^3$He in a 2.5 mm effective diameter and 0.15 m long channel connecting the two volumes of our experimental assembly. The main volume contained pure solid $^4$He, pure liquid $^3$He and…
We investigate the influence of the temperature boundary conditions at the sidewall on the heat transport in Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection using direct numerical simulations. For relatively low Rayleigh numbers Ra the heat transport is…
DIII-D discharges that transition to H-mode solely with off-axis electron cyclotron heating (ECH) often exhibit strong off-axis peaking of electron temperature profiles at the heating location. Electron heat transport properties near these…
Understanding heat transport in organic semiconductors is of fundamental and practical relevance. Therefore, we study the lattice thermal conductivities of a series of (oligo)acenes, where an increasing number of rings per molecule leads to…
The turbulent flow of a fluid carrying trace amounts of a condensable species through a differentially cooled vertical channel geometry is simulated using single-phase direct numerical simulations. The release of latent heat during…
Situations where a spontaneous process of energy or matter transfer is enhanced by an external device are widespread in nature (human sweating system, enzyme catalysis, facilitated diffusion across bio-membranes, industrial heat…
This work presents a numerical study of a diffusion flame in a reacting, two-dimensional, turbulent, viscous, multi-component, compressible mixing layer subject to a large favorable streamwise pressure gradient. The boundary-layer equations…
Mist/air two-phase flow is a promising cooling technique for many applications such as internal cooling of gas turbine blades. A significant enhancement of heat transfer can be achieved with a low mass fraction of droplets by utilizing the…
Heat and momentum transfer in wall-bounded turbulent flow, coupled with the effects of wall-roughness, is one of the outstanding questions in turbulence research. In the standard Rayleigh-B\'enard problem for natural thermal convection, it…
We study turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection over four decades of Rayleigh numbers 4E8 < Ra < 2E12, while harmonically modulating the temperatures of the plates of our cylindrical cell. We probe the flow by temperature sensors placed in…
Experiments and simulations of rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in cylindrical samples have revealed an increase in heat transport with increasing rotation rate. This heat transport enhancement is intimately related to a transition in…
In this work we study the heat transport in inhomogeneous bubbly flow. The experiments were performed in a rectangular bubble column heated from one side wall and cooled from the other, with millimetric bubbles introduced through one half…
In this numerical study on Rayleigh-B\'enard convection we seek to improve the heat transfer by passive means. To this end we introduce a single tilted conductive barrier centered in an aspect ratio one cell, breaking the symmetry of the…
Twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) is two graphene layers placed on top of each other with a twist angle, making it has tunable thermal properties. In this paper, we report an analysis of thermal conductivity ($\kappa$), phonon density of…
We study of the effect of turbulence on heat transfer within magnetized plasmas for energy injection velocities both larger and smaller that the Alfven speed. We find that in the latter regime the heat transfer is partially suppressed,…
Turbulent superstructures in horizontally extended three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection flows are investigated in controlled laboratory experiments in water at Prandtl number $Pr = 7$. A Rayleigh-B\'enard cell with square…
Horizontally extended plane-layer convection flows are characterized by characteristic patterns of turbulent heat transfer due to the convective fluid motion consisting of a nearly-regular ridge network where hot fluid rises and cold fluid…
We report heat transfer and temperature profile measurements in laboratory experiments of rapidly rotating convection in water under intense thermal forcing (Rayleigh number $Ra$ as high as $\sim 10^{13}$) and unprecedentedly strong…
We present an experimental study of energy transfer in a thermal vapor of atomic rubidium. We measure the fluorescence spectrum in the visible and near infra-red as a function of atomic density using confocal microscopy. At low density we…
