We numerically study the Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection in two-dimensional model emulsions confined between two parallel walls at fixed temperatures. The systems under study are heterogeneous, with finite-size droplets dispersed in a…
The heat transport in rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) can be significantly enhanced for moderate rotation, i.e., for an intermediate range of Rossby numbers $Ro$, compared to the non-rotating case. At Rayleigh numbers…
We study penetrative convection of a fluid confined between two horizontal plates, the temperatures of which are such that a temperature of maximum density lies between them. The range of Rayleigh numbers studied is $Ra = \left[10^6, 10^8…
In this work, experimental and numerical investigations are considered for confined buoyant turbulent jet with varying inlet temperatures. Results of the experimental work and numerical simulations for the problem under consideration are…
The problem of forced convection along an isothermal, constantly moving plate is a classical problem of fluid mechanics that has been solved for the first time in 1961 by Sakiadis (1961). Thereafter, many solutions have been obtained for…
Viscous flow past a finite plate which is impulsively started in direction normal to itself is studied numerically using a high order mixed finite difference and semi-Lagrangian scheme. The goal is to resolve details of the vorticity…
In a recent paper (El Omari and Le Guer, IJHMT, 53, 2010) we have investigated mixing and heat transfer enhancement in a mixer composed of two circular rods maintained vertically in a cylindrical tank. The rods and tank can rotate around…
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent heat transfer in fully-developed channel flows have been performed in a range of friction Reynolds number between 60 and 180, based on the friction velocity and the channel half width $\delta$, with…
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…
This fluid dynamics video submitted to the Gallery of Fluid motion shows a turbulent boundary layer developing under a 5 metre-long flat plate towed through water. A stationary imaging system provides a unique view of the developing…
Traditionally, the response of a turbulent flow to modulated perturbations is expected to be complex. We conduct direct numerical simulations of turbulent Plane Couette flow, the shear flow between two differentially moving plates, to…
This work addresses the effects of different thermal sidewall boundary conditions on the formation of flow states and heat transport in two- and three-dimensional Rayleigh--B\'enard convection (RBC) by means of direct numerical simulations…
We numerically investigate the structures of the near-plate temperature profiles close to the bottom and top plates of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard flow in a cylindrical sample at Rayleigh numbers Ra=10^8 to Ra=2\times10^{12} and Prandtl…
Motion in the atmosphere or mantle convection are two among phenomena of natural convection induced by internal heat sources. They bifurcate from the conduction state as a result of its loss of stability. In spite of their importance, due…
The Leray-$\alpha$ model reduces the range of active scales of the Navier-Stokes equations by smoothing the advective transport. Here we assess the potential of the Leray-$\alpha$ model in its standard formulation to simulate wall-bounded…
The simulation of natural convection problem based on the Galerkin finite-element method, with the penalty finite-element formulation of the momentum balance equation, is exploited for accurate solutions of equations describing the problem…
The flow of fluid confined between a heated rotating cylinder and a cooled stationary cylinder is a canonical experiment for the study of heat transfer in engineering. The theoretical treatment of this system is greatly simplified if the…
The problem of steady mixed convection boundary-layer flow on a cooled vertical permeable circular cylinder embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium is studied. Here, we evaluate the flow and heat transfer characteristics numerically for…
We investigate convection in a thin cylindrical gas layer with an imposed flux at the bottom and a fixed temperature along the side, using a combination of direct numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. The experimental approach…
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…
