Direct numerical simulations are performed of turbulent forced convection in a half channel flow with wall oscillating either as a spanwise plane oscillation or to generate a streamwise travelling wave. The friction Reynolds number is fixed…
We perform experimental study of turbulent transport of nanoparticles in convective turbulence with the Rayleigh number $\sim 10^8$ in the air flow. We measure temperature field in many locations by a temperature probe equipped with 11…
Turbulent flows frequently accompany physical, chemical and biological processes, such as mixing, two-phase flow, combustion and even foraging by bacteria and plankton larvae, all of which are in principle subject to thermal fluctuations…
The shape of velocity and temperature profiles near the horizontal conducting plates in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection are studied numerically and experimentally over the Rayleigh number range $10^8\lesssim…
We investigate the effect of density and viscosity differences on a swarm of large and deformable bubbles dispersed in a turbulent channel flow. For a given shear Reynolds number, Re=300, and a constant bubble volume fraction, Phi=5.4%, we…
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…
We study Rayleigh-Benard convection in the high-Rayleigh-number and high-Prandtl-number regime, i.e., we consider a fluid in a container that is exposed to strong heating of the bottom and cooling of the top plate in the absence of inertia…
The macroscopic behavior of dense suspensions of neutrally-buoyant spheres in turbulent plane channel flow is examined. We show that particles larger than the smallest turbulence scales cause the suspension to deviate from the continuum…
Due to large scale flow inhomogeneities and the effects of temperature, turbulence small-scale structure in thermal convection is still an active field of investigation, especially considering sophisticated Lagrangian statistics. Here we…
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…
The way the increment statistics of turbulent velocity fluctuations scale with the increment size is a centerpiece of turbulence theories. We report data on decaying turbulence in the Max Planck Variable Density Turbulence Tunnel (VDTT),…
We investigate the connection between the inertial range and the dissipation range statistics of rotating turbulence through detailed simulations of a helical shell model and a multifractal analysis. In particular, by using the latter, we…
Two types of spontaneous breaking of the space translational symmetry in distributed chaos have been considered for turbulent thermal convection at large values of Rayleigh number. First type is related to boundaries and second type is…
Radiation transport plays important roles in stellar atmospheres, but the effects of turbulence are being obscured by other effects such as stratification. Using radiative hydrodynamic simulations of forced turbulence, we determine the…
A qualitative explanation for the scaling of energy dissipation by high Reynolds number fluid flows in contact with solid obstacles is proposed in the light of recent mathematical and numerical results. Asymptotic analysis suggests that it…
Heat transport in turbulent thermal convection increases with the thermal forcing, but in almost all studies the rate of this increase is slower than it would be if transport became independent of the molecular diffusivities -- the heat…
Radiative mixing layers arise wherever multiphase gas, shear, and radiative cooling are present. Simulations show that in steady state, thermal advection from the hot phase balances radiative cooling. However, many features are puzzling.…
(Abridged) We describe the results of three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations designed to study turbulent convection in the stellar interiors, and compare them to stellar mixing-length theory (MLT). Simulations in 2D are significantly…
Two-dimensional direct numerical simulations are conducted for convection sustained by uniform internal heating in a horizontal fluid layer. Top and bottom boundary temperatures are fixed and equal. Prandtl numbers range from 0.01 to 100,…
We numerically investigate the radial dependence of the velocity and temperature fluctuations and of the time-averaged heat flux $\bar{j}(r)$ in a cylindrical Rayleigh-B\'enard cell with aspect ratio \Gamma=1 for Rayleigh numbers Ra between…
