We study the evolution of a melting front between the solid and liquid phases of a pure incompressible material where fluid motions are driven by unstable temperature gradients. In a plane layer geometry, this can be seen as classical…
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…
We study numerically the melting of a horizontal layer of a pure solid above a convecting layer of its fluid rotating about the vertical axis. In the rotating regime studied here, with Rayleigh numbers of order $10^7$, convection takes the…
A pure and incompressible material is confined between two plates such that it is heated from below and cooled from above. When its melting temperature is comprised between these two imposed temperatures, an interface separating liquid and…
The boundary layer flow in a Rayleigh-B\'enard convection cell of rectangular shape has been visualized in this fluid dynamics video. The experiment has been undertaken in air at a Rayleigh number $Ra=1.3\times 10^{10}$ and a Prandtl number…
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 prove the first rigorous bound on the heat transfer for three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of finite-Prandtl-number fluids between free-slip boundaries with an imposed heat flux. Using the auxiliary functional method with a…
The central open question about Rayleigh--B\'enard convection -- buoyancy-driven flow in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above -- is how vertical heat flux depends on the imposed temperature gradient in the strongly…
The boundary layer structure of the velocity and temperature fields in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard flows in closed cylindrical cells of unit aspect ratio is revisited from a transitional and turbulent viscous boundary layer perspective. When…
Turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection with phase changes in an extended layer between two parallel impermeable planes is studied by means of three-dimensional direct numerical simulations for Rayleigh numbers between 10^4 and 1.5\times 10^7…
We study turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection through direct numerical simulations in a three-dimensional plane layer of aspect ratio 4 for Rayleigh numbers $10^5 \leq Ra \leq 10^{11}$ and Prandtl number $Pr=0.7$. We summarize the…
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 =…
We consider Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a layer of fluid between rough no-slip boundaries where the top and bottom boundary heights are functions of the horizontal coordinates with square-integrable gradients. We use the background…
We numerically simulate three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, the flow in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, with inhomogeneous temperature boundary conditions to explore two distinct regimes described in…
We numerically investigate turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection within two immiscible fluid layers, aiming to understand how the layer thickness and fluid properties affect the heat transfer (characterized by the Nusselt number $Nu$) in…
Rayleigh-B\'enard convection is numerically simulated in two- and three-dimensions using a recently developed two-component lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method. The density field of the second component, which evolves according to the…
We study penetrative convection of a fluid confined between two horizontal plates, the temperatures of which are such that a temperature of maximum density lies between them. The range of Rayleigh numbers studied is $Ra = \left[10^6, 10^8…
We investigate the influence of the thermal properties of the boundaries in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection on analytical bounds on convective heat transport. Using the Doering-Constantin background flow method, we systematically…
Penetrative turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection which depends on the density maximum of water near $4^\circ\rm{C}$ is studied using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) direct numerical simulations (DNS). The working fluid is…
We investigate states of rapidly rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a cylindrical cell over a range of Rayleigh number $3\times10^5\leq Ra \leq 5\times10^{9}$ and Ekman number $10^{-6} \leq Ek \leq 10^{-4}$ for Prandtl number $Pr =…
