We perform a two-dimensional numerical study on the thermal effect of porous media on global heat transport and flow structure in Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection, focusing on the role of thermal conductivity $\lambda$ of porous media,…
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…
Here we summarize the results from our direct numerical simulations (DNS) and experimental measurements on rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection. Our experiments and simulations are performed in cylindrical samples with an aspect ratio…
We investigate the dependency of the magnitude of heat transfer in a convection cell as a function of its inclination by means of experiments and simulations. The study is performed with a working fluid of large Prandtl number, $Pr \simeq…
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…
Experimental and numerical data for the heat transfer as a function of the Rayleigh-, Prandtl-, and Rossby numbers in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection are presented. For relatively small $Ra ~ 10^8$ and large Pr modest rotation…
We numerically investigate turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection with gas bubbles attached to the hot plate, mimicking a core feature in electrolysis, catalysis, or boiling. The existence of bubbles on the plate reduces the global heat…

Rotation, which stabilizes flow, can enhance the heat transfer in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) through Ekman pumping. In this Letter, we present the results of our direct numerical simulations of rotating RBC, providing a…
A Rayleigh-B\'enard cell has been designed to explore the Prandtl (Pr) dependence of turbulent convection in the cross-over range $0.7<Pr<21$ and for the full range of soft and hard turbulences, up to Rayleigh number $Ra\simeq 10^{11}$. The…
Results from direct numerical simulation for three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in samples of aspect ratio $\Gamma=0.23$ and $\Gamma=0.5$ up to Rayleigh number $Ra=2\times10^{12}$ are presented. The broad range of Prandtl…
A series of direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, the flow in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, were conducted to investigate the effect of mixed insulating and conducting boundary conditions on…
We report the statistical properties of temperature and thermal energy dissipation rate in low-Prandtl number turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection. High resolution two-dimensional direct numerical simulations were carried out for the…
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 heat transfer mechanism in Rayleigh-Benard convection in a liquid with a mean temperature close to its boiling point is studied through numerical simulations with point-like vapor bubbles, which are allowed to grow or shrink through…
We present three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a closed rectangular box whose width $L_y$ and length $L_x$ are 0.8 and 2.4 times the height $H$, respectively. The Rayleigh number $Ra$…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent convection at high Rayleigh numbers in large aspect ratio cells are challenging because of the prohibitive computational resources required. One can achieve high Rayleigh numbers at affordable costs…
In Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, it has been found that the amount of heat passing through the fluid has a power law dependence on the imposed temperature difference. Modifying this dependence, either enhancing or reducing the heat transfer…
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…
