We perform the linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulations to study the effect of radius ratio on the instability and flow characteristics of the sheared annular centrifugal Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (ACRBC), where the…
In this study, we investigate the coupling effects of roughness and wall shear in an annular centrifugal Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (ACRBC) system, where two cylinders rotate with different angular velocities. Two-dimensional direct…
We investigate the coupling effect of buoyancy and shear based on an annular centrifugal Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (ACRBC) system in which two cylinders rotate with an angular velocity difference. Direct numerical simulations are…
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…
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…
Unlike solids, the heat transfer in fluids can be greatly enhanced due to the presence of convection. Under gravity, an unevenly distributed temperature field results in differences in buoyancy, driving fluid motion that is seen in…
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…
The effect of various velocity boundary condition is studied in two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection. Combinations of no-slip, stress-free and periodic boundary conditions are used on both the sidewalls and the horizontal plates.…
We numerically investigate the radial dependence of the velocity and temperature fluctuations and of the time-averaged heat flux $\bar{j}(r)$ in a cylindrical Rayleigh-B\'enard cell with aspect ratio \Gamma=1 for Rayleigh numbers Ra between…
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…
The heat transport and corresponding changes in the large-scale circulation (LSC) in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection are studied by means of three-dimensional direct numerical simulations as a function of the aspect ratio $\Gamma$…
Numerical and experimental data for the heat transfer as function of the Rossby number Ro in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection are presented for Prandtl number Pr=4.38 and Rayleigh number $Ra=2.91\times10^8$ up to…
Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) and Taylor-Couette Flow (TCF) are two paradigmatic fluid dynamical systems frequently discussed together because of their many similarities despite their different geometries and forcing. Often these…
The study of the transitions among different regimes in thermal convection has been an issue of paramount importance in fluid mechanics. While the bifurcations at low Rayleigh number, when the flow is laminar or moderately chaotic, have…
Recently, in Zhang et al. (2020), it was found that in rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) in slender cylindrical containers (with diameter-to-height aspect ratio $\Gamma=1/2$) filled with a small-Prandtl-number…
We investigate the influence of the temperature boundary conditions at the sidewall on the heat transport in Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection using direct numerical simulations. For relatively low Rayleigh numbers Ra the heat transport is…
In this numerical study on two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection we consider $10^7 \leq Ra \leq 10^{12}$ in aspect ratio $0.23 \leq \Gamma \leq 13$ samples. We focus on several cases. First we consider small aspect ratio cells, where…
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…
High-Rayleigh number convective turbulence is ubiquitous in many natural phenomena and in industries, such as atmospheric circulations, oceanic flows, flows in the fluid core of planets, and energy generations. In this work, we present a…
Recent studies of rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection at high rotation rates and strong thermal forcing have shown a significant discrepancy in total heat transport between experiments on a confined cylindrical domain on the one hand and…
