The diffusion of a solute from a concentrated source into a horizontal, stationary, fluid-saturated porous medium can lead to a convective motion when a gravitationally unstable density stratification evolves. In an inclined porous medium,…
Geological storage of CO$_2$ in deep saline aquifers is a promising measure to mitigate global warming by reducing the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. When CO$_2$ is injected in the geological formation, it dissolves…
We consider a vertical cavity composed of two chambers separated by a retractable thermally insulated thin membrane. The upper and lower chambers are filled with an incompressible Boussinesq fluid and maintained at temperatures $T_2$ and…
We analyze the time profile $\Delta T(t)$ of the temperature difference, measured across a very compressible supercritical $^3$He fluid layer in its convective state. The experiments were done along the critical isochore in a…
Conditions for the onset of nonpenetrative convection in a horizontal Boussinesq fluid layer subject to a step change in temperature are studied using propagation theory. A wide range of Prandtl numbers and two different kinematic boundary…
Many natural and engineering systems involve the mixing of two fluid streams, in which the effects of density and viscosity gradients play important roles in determining flow stability. We perform linear stability calculations for a jet…
Convective dissolution is the process by which CO$_2$ injected in deep geological formations dissolves into the aqueous phase, which allows storing it perennially by gravity. The process results from buoyancy-coupled Darcy flow and solute…
The convective stability associated with carbon sequestration is usually investigated by adopting an unsteady diffusive basic profile. The method of normal modes is not applicable due to the time dependence of the nonlinear base profile.…
We investigate theoretically the bifurcation scenario for colloidal suspensions subject to a vertical temperature gradient taking into account the effect of sedimentation. In contrast to molecular binary mixtures, here the thermal…
The density-driven convection coupled with chemical reaction is the preferred mechanism for permanently storing CO2 in saline aquifers. This study uses a 2D visual Hele-Shaw cell to evaluate and visualize the density-driven convection…
CO$_2$ sequestration in deep saline formations is an effective and important process to control the rapid rise in CO$_2$ emissions. The process of injecting CO$_2$ requires reliable predictions of the stress in the formation and the fluid…
We investigate the convective stability of a thin, infinite fluid layer with a rectangular cross-section, subject to imposed heat fluxes at the top and bottom and fixed temperature along the vertical sides. The instability threshold depends…
The current work analyses the onset characteristics of buoyancy and thermocapillary-driven instabilities in two-layer binary fluid systems near their upper critical solution temperature (UCST). The dynamics of the binary fluids are modelled…
The onset of convection in a rapidly rotating layer in which a thermal wind is present is studied. Diffusive effects are included. The main motivation is from convection in planetary interiors, where thermal winds are expected due to…
A water-filled differentially heated rotating annulus with initially prepared stable vertical salinity profiles is studied in the laboratory. Based on two-dimensional horizontal particle image velocimetry (PIV) data, and infrared camera…
Dry lakes covered with a salt crust organised into beautifully patterned networks of narrow ridges are common in arid regions. Here, we consider the initial instability and the ultimate fate of buoyancy-driven convection that could lead to…
We consider experimentally the instability and mass transport of a porous-medium flow in a Hele-Shaw geometry. In an initially stable configuration, a lighter fluid (water) is located over a heavier fluid (propylene glycol). The fluids mix…
We consider a classical problem of linear stability of convective rolls in a plane layer with stress-free horizontal boundaries near the onset of convection. The problem has been studied by a number of authors, who have shown that rolls of…
A ubiquitous arrangement in nature is a free-flowing fluid coupled to a porous medium, for example a river or lake lying above a porous bed. Depending on the environmental conditions, thermal convection can occur and may be confined to the…
Subjected to compressive stresses, soft polymers with stiffness gradients can display various buckling patterns. These compressive stresses can have different origins, like mechanical forces, temperature changes, or, for hydrogel materials,…
