The heat transfer and flow structure in rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection are strongly influenced by the Rayleigh ($Ra$), Prandtl ($Pr$), and Rossby ($Ro$) number. For $Pr\gtrsim 1$ and intermediate rotation rates, the heat transfer is…
Numerical and experimental data for the heat transfer as function of the Rossby number Ro in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection are presented for Prandtl number Pr=4.38 and Rayleigh number $Ra=2.91\times10^8$ up to…
Experimental and numerical data for the heat transfer as a function of the Rayleigh-, Prandtl-, and Rossby numbers in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection are presented. For relatively small $Ra ~ 10^8$ and large Pr modest rotation…
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 numerical study on two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection we consider $10^7 \leq Ra \leq 10^{12}$ in aspect ratio $0.23 \leq \Gamma \leq 13$ samples. We focus on several cases. First we consider small aspect ratio cells, where…
The aspect ratio (\Gamma) dependence of the heat transfer (Nusselt number Nu in dimensionless form) in turbulent (two-dimensional) Rayleigh-B\'enard convection is numerically studied in the regime $0.4 \le \Gamma \le 1.25$ for Rayleigh…
The heat transport and corresponding changes in the large-scale circulation (LSC) in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection are studied by means of three-dimensional direct numerical simulations as a function of the aspect ratio $\Gamma$…
We report experimental results for heat-transport measurements by turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratio $\Gamma \equiv D/L = 1.00$ ($D = 1.12$ m is the diameter and $L = 1.12$ m the height). They are…
The heat transport in rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) can be significantly enhanced for moderate rotation, i.e., for an intermediate range of Rossby numbers $Ro$, compared to the non-rotating case. At Rayleigh numbers…
We report experimental results for heat-transport measurements, in the form of the Nusselt number \Nu, by turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratio $\Gamma \equiv D/L = 0.50$ ($D = 1.12$ m is the…
We present experimental heat transport measurements of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection with rotation about a vertical axis. The fluid, water with Prandtl number ($\sigma$) about 6, was confined in a cell which had a square cross…
Rotation, which stabilizes flow, can enhance the heat transfer in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) through Ekman pumping. In this Letter, we present the results of our direct numerical simulations of rotating RBC, providing a…
We perform a numerical study of the heat transfer and flow structure of Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection in (in most cases regular) porous media, which are comprised of circular, solid obstacles located on a square lattice. This study is…
We study the influence of thermal boundary conditions on large aspect ratio Rayleigh-B\'enard convection by a joint analysis of experimental and numerical data sets for a Prandl number $\mathrm{Pr = 7}$ and Rayleigh numbers $\mathrm{Ra =…
Results from direct numerical simulation for three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in samples of aspect ratio $\Gamma=0.23$ and $\Gamma=0.5$ up to Rayleigh number $Ra=2\times10^{12}$ are presented. The broad range of Prandtl…
Numerical data for the heat transfer as a function of the Prandtl (Pr) and Rossby (Ro) numbers in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection are presented for Rayleigh number Ra = 10^8. When Ro is fixed the heat transfer enhancement with…
We report on a three-dimensional direct numerical simulation study of flow structure and heat transport in the annular centrifugal Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection (ACRBC) system, with cold inner and hot outer cylinders corotating axially,…
An important question in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection (RBC) is the effectiveness of convective heat transport, which is conveniently described via the scaling of the Nusselt number (${\rm{Nu}}$) with the Rayleigh (${\rm{Ra}}$)…
We investigate the dependency of the magnitude of heat transfer in a convection cell as a function of its inclination by means of experiments and simulations. The study is performed with a working fluid of large Prandtl number, $Pr \simeq…
Steady flows that optimize heat transport are obtained for two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection with no-slip horizontal walls for a variety of Prandtl numbers $Pr$ and Rayleigh number up to $Ra\sim 10^9$. Power law scalings of…
