We investigate how rotating convection responds to the imposition of a latitudinally-varying heat flux at the base of the convective layer. This study is motivated by the solar near-surface shear layer, whose flows are thought to transition…
We present mesoscale numerical simulations of Rayleigh-B\'enard (RB) convection in a two-dimensional model emulsion. The systems under study are constituted of finite-size droplets, whose concentration Phi_0 is systematically varied from…
New insight into the contribution of the microscale vortex evolution towards convection heat transfer in porous media is presented in this paper. The objective is to determine how the microscale vortices influence convection heat transfer…
Rayleigh-Benard convection in a rotating spherical shell provides a simplified model for convective dynamics of planetary and stellar interiors. In this study, we build more than 200 numerical models of rotating convection in a spherical…
The effects of a vertical static magnetic field on the flow structure and global transport properties of momentum and heat in liquid metal Rayleigh-B\'enard convection are investigated. Experiments are conducted in a cylindrical convection…
We consider rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of a fluid with a Prandtl number of $Pr = 0.8$ in a cylindrical cell with an aspect ratio $\Gamma = 1/2$. Direct numerical simulations were performed for the Rayleigh number range $10^5 \leq…
We report heat transfer and temperature profile measurements in laboratory experiments of rapidly rotating convection in water under intense thermal forcing (Rayleigh number $Ra$ as high as $\sim 10^{13}$) and unprecedentedly strong…
Using direct numerical simulations, we study rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a cylindrical cell for a broad range of Rayleigh, Ekman, and Prandtl numbers from the onset of wall modes to the geostrophic regime, an extremely…
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…
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…
Numerical simulations of quasi-static magnetoconvection with a vertical magnetic field are carried out up to a Chandrasekhar number of $Q=10^8$ over a broad range of Rayleigh numbers $Ra$. Three magnetoconvection regimes are identified: two…
Emulsions are paramount in various interdisciplinary topical areas, yet a satisfactory understanding of their behavior in buoyancy-driven thermal flows has not been established. In the present work, we unravel the dynamical regimes of…
Boiling is an extremely effective way to promote heat transfer from a hot surface to a liquid due to several mechanisms many of which are not understood in quantitative detail. An important component of the overall process is that the…
We study turbulent flows in planar channels with unstable thermal stratification, using direct numerical simulations in a wide range of Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers and reaching flow conditions which are representative of asymptotic…
Turbulent convection in the interiors of the Sun and the Earth occurs at high Rayleigh numbers $Ra$, low Prandtl numbers $Pr$, and different levels of rotation rates. To understand the combined effects better, we study rotating turbulent…
The focus of this paper is to systematically study the influence of solid obstacle surface roughness in porous media on the microscale flow physics and report its effect on macroscale drag and Nusselt number. The Reynolds averaged flow…
In this paper, we present results from an experimental study into turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection forced externally by periodically modulated unidirectional rotation rates. We find that the azimuthal rotation velocity $\dot{\theta}$(t)…

Patterns of convection in internally heated, self-gravitating rotating spherical fluid shells are investigated through numerical simulations. While turbulent states are of primary interest in planetary and stellar applications the present…
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…
