Using numerical simulations of rapidly rotating Boussinesq convection in a Cartesian box, we study the formation of long-lived, large-scale, depth-invariant coherent structures. These structures, which consist of concentrated cyclones, grow…
Statistical properties of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection at low Prandtl numbers (Pr), which are typical for liquid metals such as mercury, gallium or liquid sodium, are investigated in high-resolution three-dimensional spectral…
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…
The research is devoted to the stability of convective flow in a nonuniformly rotating layer of an electrically conducting fluid in a spiral magnetic field. The stationary and oscillatory modes of magnetic convection are considered…
The progress in our understanding of several aspects of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection is reviewed. The focus is on the question of how the Nusselt number and the Reynolds number depend on the Rayleigh number Ra and the Prandtl number…
Anelastic convection at high Rayleigh number in a plane parallel layer with no slip boundaries is considered. Energy and entropy balance equations are derived, and they are used to develop scaling laws for the heat transport and the…
The behaviour of the turbulent Prandtl number ($Pr_t$) for buoyancy-affected flows near a vertical surface is investigated as an extension study of {Gibson \& Leslie, \emph{Int. Comm. Heat Mass Transfer}, Vol. 11, pp. 73-84 (1984)}. By…
We use well resolved numerical simulations with the Lattice Boltzmann Method to study Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in cells with a fractal boundary in two dimensions for $Pr = 1$ and $Ra \in \left[10^7, 10^{10}\right]$. The fractal…
Convective turbulence in a Rayleigh Benard system has shown a marked reluctance to exhibit clear scaling in the energy or entropy spectrum. The recent numerical simulation of Pandey, Verma and Mishra has shown significantly better evidence…
This work studies two-dimensional fixed-flux Rayleigh-B\'enard convection with periodic boundary conditions in both horizontal and vertical directions and analyzes its dynamics using numerical continuation, secondary instability analysis…
In turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard (RB) convection, a transition to the so-called ultimate regime, in which the boundary layers (BL) are of turbulent type, has been postulated. Indeed, at very large Rayleigh number $Ra \approx…
We study dynamo action using numerical simulations of planar Boussinesq convection at rapid rotation (low Ekman numbers, Ek), focusing on subcritical dynamo action in which the dynamo is sustained for Rayleigh numbers, Ra, below the…
The heat transfer and flow structure in rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection are strongly influenced by the Rayleigh ($Ra$), Prandtl ($Pr$), and Rossby ($Ro$) number. For $Pr\gtrsim 1$ and intermediate rotation rates, the heat transfer is…
Using direct numerical simulations, we study the statistical properties of reversals in two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection for infinite Prandtl number. We find that the large-scale circulation reverses irregularly, with the…
We compute the spectra and fluxes of the velocity and temperature fields in Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection in turbulent regime for a wide range of Prandtl numbers using pseudo-spectral simulations on $512^3$ grids. Our spectral and flux…
The representation of buoyancy-driven turbulence in Reynolds-averaged Navier--Stokes (RANS) models remains unresolved, with no widely accepted standard formulation. A key difficulty is the lack of analytical guidance for incorporating…
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…
Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, i.e. the flow of a fluid between two parallel plates that is driven by a temperature gradient, is an idealised setup to study thermal convection. Of special interest are the statistics of the turbulent…
In this paper, we present results from an experimental study into turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection forced externally by periodically modulated unidirectional rotation rates. We find that the azimuthal rotation velocity $\dot{\theta}$(t)…
Asymptotically large Reynolds number hydrodynamic turbulence is characterized by multi-scaling of moments of velocity increments and spatial derivatives. With decreasing Reynolds number toward $R_{\lambda}=R^{tr}_{\lambda}\approx 9.0$, the…
