Convection in the Sun occurs at Rayleigh numbers, $Ra$, as high as $10^{22}$, molecular Prandtl numbers, $Pr$, as low as $10^{-6}$, under conditions that are far from satisfying the Oberbeck-Boussinesq (OB) idealization. The effects of…
The non-Oberbeck--Boussinesq (NOB) effects arising from variations in thermal expansivity are theoretically and numerically studied in the context of rotating Rayleigh--B\'{e}nard convection in forms of two-dimensional (2D) rolls. The…
The present study investigates the non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (NOB) effects which arise due to the temperature dependence of material properties in cryogenic helium experiments of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection. They are manifest as a…
The influence of symmetrical non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (SNOB) effect on statistical and scaling properties of temperature field in turbulent convection is investigated experimentally in $SF_{6}$ in the vicinity of its gas-liquid critical…
As shown in earlier work (Ahlers et al., J. Fluid Mech. 569, p.409 (2006)), non-Oberbeck Boussinesq (NOB) corrections to the center temperature in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection in water and also in glycerol are governed by the…
We present an extensive study of Boussinesq thermal convection including a temperature-dependent internal heating source, based on numerical three-dimensional simulations. The temperature dependence mimics triple-$\alpha$ nuclear reactions…
Water exhibits an anomalous nonlinear temperature-density ($\rho$-$T$) relation as it approaches freezing, along with an increase in viscosity, and a decrease in thermal conductivity. These departures from the standard Oberbeck--Boussinesq…
We numerically analyze Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (NOB) effects in two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard flow in glycerol, which shows a dramatic change in the viscosity with temperature. The results are presented both as functions of the Rayleigh…
We examine the dynamics associated with weakly compressible convection in a spherical shell by running 3D direct numerical simulations using the Boussinesq formalism [1]. Motivated by problems in astrophysics, we assume the existence of a…
Convection is ubiquitous in stellar and planetary interiors where it likely plays an integral role in the generation of magnetic fields. As the interiors of these objects remain hidden from direct observation, numerical models of convection…
The multiscale flow structure in the solar convection zone - the coexistence of such features as the granules, mesogranules, supergranules and giant cells - has not yet been properly understood. Here, the possible role of one physical…
Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (NOB) effects on the flow organization in two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard turbulence are numerically analyzed. The working fluid is water. We focus on the temperature profiles, the center temperature, the Nusselt…
Non-equilibrium (NE) molecular dynamics (MD), or NEMD, gives a "direct" simulation of thermal conductivity kappa. Heat H(x) is added and subtracted in equal amounts at different places x. After steady state is achieved, the temperature T(x)…
Regions of stellar and planetary interiors that are unstable according to the Schwarzschild criterion, but stable according to the Ledoux criterion, are subject to a form of oscillatory double-diffusive (ODD) convection often called…
The investigation of thermal convection of a fluid with the dependence of thermal diffusivity on temperature in a vertical Hele Shaw cell heated from below has been fulfilled theoretically.The expression for equilibrium temperature…
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 study rotating homogeneous turbulent convection forced by a mean vertical temperature gradient by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS) in the Boussinesq approximation in a rotating frame. In the absence of rotationour results are…
The angle dependence at different temperatures of the longitudinal thermal conductivity $\kappa_{xx}(\theta)$ in the presence of a planar magnetic field is presented. In order to study the influence of the gap symmetry on the thermal…
Radiative-conductive systems are intrinsically nonlinear due to the quartic temperature dependence of thermal radiation. Under fixed total heating power, convexity arguments imply that nonuniform temperature distributions radiate more…
The impact of variable material properties, such as temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and dynamical viscosity, on the dynamics of a fully compressible turbulent convection flow beyond the anelastic limit are studied in the present…
