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…
The aspect ratio (\Gamma) dependence of the heat transfer (Nusselt number Nu in dimensionless form) in turbulent (two-dimensional) Rayleigh-B\'enard convection is numerically studied in the regime $0.4 \le \Gamma \le 1.25$ for Rayleigh…
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…
We perform direct numerical simulations of wall sheared Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection for Rayleigh numbers up to $Ra=10^8$, Prandtl number unity, and wall shear Reynolds numbers up to $Re_w=10000$. Using the Monin-Obukhov length…
This study explores heat and turbulent modulation in three-dimensional multiphase Rayleigh-B\'enard convection using direct numerical simulations. Two immiscible fluids with identical reference density undergo systematic variations in…
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…
This study numerically investigates two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection subjected to horizontal oscillation of the bottom plate, with Prandtl number Pr=4.3, Rayleigh numbers Ra ranging from 5e6 to 1e8, and oscillation frequencies f…
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…
We present an experimental study of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection using liquid metal alloy gallium-indium-tin as the working fluid with a Prandtl number of $Pr=0.029$. The flow state and the heat transport were measured in a Rayleigh number…
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 study turbulent natural convection in enclosures with conjugate heat transfer. The simplest way to increase the heat transfer in this flow is through rough surfaces. In numerical simulations often the constant temperature is assigned at…
We report high-precision measurements of the Nusselt number $Nu$ as a function of the Rayleigh number $Ra$ in water-filled rectangular Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection cells. The horizontal length $L$ and width $W$ of the cells are 50.0 cm…
We investigate states of rapidly rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a cylindrical cell over a range of Rayleigh number $3\times10^5\leq Ra \leq 5\times10^{9}$ and Ekman number $10^{-6} \leq Ek \leq 10^{-4}$ for Prandtl number $Pr =…
Heat and momentum transfer in wall-bounded turbulent flow, coupled with the effects of wall-roughness, is one of the outstanding questions in turbulence research. In the standard Rayleigh-B\'enard problem for natural thermal convection, it…
Employing numerical simulations, we provide an accurate insight into the of heat transfer mechanisms in the Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of concentrated emulsions with finite-size droplets. We focus on the unsteady dynamics characterizing…
Direct numerical simulations are carried out to study flow structure and transport properties in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection in a cylindrical cell of aspect ratio one with an imposed axial magnetic field. Flows at the Prandtl…
In turbulent wall sheared thermal convection, there are three different flow regimes, depending on the relative relevance of thermal forcing and wall shear. In this paper we report the results of direct numerical simulations of such sheared…
We prove the first rigorous bound on the heat transfer for three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of finite-Prandtl-number fluids between free-slip boundaries with an imposed heat flux. Using the auxiliary functional method with a…
Flows at planetary scales are generally driven by buoyancy and influenced by rotation. Rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RRBC) is a practical and simple model that can be used to describe these systems. In RRBC, thermally induced…
We studied flow organization and heat transfer properties in mixed turbulent convection within Poiseuille-Rayleigh-B\'enard channels subjected to temporally modulated sinusoidal wall temperatures. Three-dimensional direct numerical…
