We present a numerical study of convection in a horizontal layer comprising a fluid-saturated porous bed overlain by an unconfined fluid layer. Convection is driven by a vertical, destabilising temperature difference applied across the…

Convection of an internally heated fluid, confined between top and bottom plates of equal temperature, is studied by direct numerical simulation in two and three dimensions. The unstably stratified upper region drives convection that…

In turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection one seeks the relationship between the heat transport, captured by the Nusselt number, and the temperature drop across the convecting layer, captured by Rayleigh number. In experiments, one measures…

In this work, we investigate the presence and impact of stable eigenmodes in Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection that arises due to a temperature gradient within a fluid system. The nonlinear evolution of the canonical convection system is cast…

Boiling is an extremely effective way to promote heat transfer from a hot surface to a liquid due to several mechanisms many of which are not understood in quantitative detail. An important component of the overall process is that the…

The non-hydrostatic, quasigeostrophic approximation for rapidly rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection admits a class of exact `single mode' solutions. These solutions correspond to steady laminar convection with a separable structure…

Direct numerical simulations are employed to reveal three distinctly different flow regions in rotating spherical Rayleigh-B\'enard convection. In the low-latitude region $\mathrm{I}$ vertical (parallel to the axis of rotation) convective…

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 =…

A combined experimental and numerical study of the boundary layer in a 4:1 aspect-ratio Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard cell over a four-decade range of Rayleigh numbers has been undertaken aimed at gaining a better insight into the character of the…

The previous investigation on Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of a dilute classical gas [T. Kita: J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 75} (2006) 124005] is extended to calculate entropy change of the convective transition with the rigid boundaries. We…

We compute fully local boundary layer scales in three-dimensional turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection. These scales are directly connected to the highly intermittent fluctuations of the fluxes of momentum and heat at the isothermal top and…

We study two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection with Navier-slip, fixed temperature boundary conditions and establish bounds on the Nusselt number. As the slip-length varies with Rayleigh number $\rm{Ra}$, this estimate interpolates…

Conditions for the onset of nonpenetrative convection in a horizontal Boussinesq fluid layer subject to a step change in temperature are studied using propagation theory. A wide range of Prandtl numbers and two different kinematic boundary…

Natural convection is ubiquitous throughout the physical sciences and engineering, yet many of its important properties remain elusive. To study convection in a novel context, we derive and solve a quasilinear form of the Rayleigh-B\'enard…

We investigate the structures of the near-plate velocity and temperature profiles at different horizontal positions along the conducting bottom (and top) plate of a Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection cell, using two-dimensional (2D) numerical…

Turbulent heat and momentum transfer processes due to thermal convection cover many scales and are of great importance for several natural and technical flows. One consequence is that a fully resolved three-dimensional analysis of these…

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…

We report an experimental study of the properties of the velocity boundary layer in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection in a cylindrical cell. The measurements were made at Rayleigh numbers $Ra$ in the range…

We present highly resolved measurements of the near-wall temperature field in thermally driven convection at a rough surface. Our measurements have been undertaken in a very large experimental facility called the "Barrel of Ilmenau". They…

Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection admits a class of exact steady single-mode solutions describing high-amplitude convection cells. Using a matched asymptotic analysis in the high-Rayleigh-number limit, we obtain a rigorous…
