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…

Active oil droplets in a liquid are believed to repel due to the Marangoni effect, while buoyancy effects caused by the density difference between the droplets, diffusing product, and ambient fluid are usually overlooked. Recent experiments…

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…

We numerically examine solutal convection in porous media, driven by the dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) into water---an effective mechanism for CO2 storage in saline aquifers. Dissolution is associated with slow diffusion of free-phase…

We present a theory to describe the Nusselt number ($Nu$), corresponding to the heat or mass flux, as a function of the Rayleigh--Darcy number ($Ra$), the ratio of buoyant driving force over diffusive dissipation, in convective porous media…

We study the dynamics of line plumes on the bottom plate in turbulent convection over six decades of Rayleigh number $(10^5<Ra_w<10^{11})$ and two decades of Prandtl number $(0.7<Pr<600)$. We qualitatively identify the main dynamics as…

Emulsions are paramount in various interdisciplinary topical areas, yet a satisfactory understanding of their behavior in buoyancy-driven thermal flows has not been established. In the present work, we unravel the dynamical regimes of…

In this study, we present results from experiments on the retention of single oil droplets rising through a two-layer density stratification. These experiments confirm the significant slowdown observed in past literature of settling and…

For a small sessile or pendant droplet it is generally assumed that gravity does not play any role once the Bond number is small. This is even assumed for evaporating binary sessile or pendant droplets, in which convective flows can be…

Convective dissolution is the process by which CO$_2$ injected in deep geological formations dissolves into the aqueous phase, which allows storing it perennially by gravity. The process results from buoyancy-coupled Darcy flow and solute…

We conduct two- and three-dimensional simulations for double diffusive convection in the diffusive regime, where the fluid flow is driven by a destabilizing temperature gradient and stabilized by a stably stratified salinity gradient. We…

Buoyancy-driven bubbly flows play pivotal roles in various scenarios, such as the oxygenation and mixing in the upper ocean and the reaction kinetics in chemical and bio-reactors. This work focuses on the convective flow induced by the…

We study the dynamical regimes of a density-stratified fluid confined between isothermal no-slip top and bottom boundaries (at temperatures $T_t$ and $T_b$) via direct numerical simulation. The thermal expansion coefficient of the fluid is…

We present mesoscale numerical simulations of Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection in a two-dimensional concentrated emulsion, confined between two parallel walls, heated from below and cooled from above, under the effect of buoyancy forces. The…

Rayleigh-Benard convection in a rotating spherical shell provides a simplified model for convective dynamics of planetary and stellar interiors. In this study, we build more than 200 numerical models of rotating convection in a spherical…

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 present results on the effect of dispersed droplets in vertical natural convection (VC) using direct numerical simulations based on a two-way fully coupled Euler-Lagrange approach with a liquid phase and a dispersed droplets phase. For…

Direct numerical simulations are conducted for double diffusive convection (DDC) bounded by two parallel plates, with fluid properties similar to the values of seawater. The DDC flow is driven by an unstable salinity difference and…

'A basic and basically unsolved problem in fluid dynamics is to determine the evolution of rising bubbles and falling drops of one miscible liquid in another' [1]. Here, we address this important literature gap and present the first theory…

We employ a multi-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to study droplet dynamics in shear flow. With an extensive range of Reynolds number, capillary number, wall confinement, and density/viscosity ratio between the droplet…
