In this paper we prove the existence and regularity of a solution to a two-dimensional system of evolutionary hemivariational inequalities which describes the Boussinesq model with nonmonotone friction and heat flux. We use the time…
Physics involving more details than hydrodynamics is needed to formulate rate thermodynamics of the Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard system. The Boussinesq vector field is approached in the space of mesoscopic vector fields similarly as equilibrium…
In a vertical channel driven by an imposed horizontal temperature gradient, numerical simulations have previously shown steady, time-periodic and chaotic dynamics. We explore the observed dynamics by constructing invariant solutions of the…
Turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in slender cylindrical cells exhibits rich dynamics of the large-scale circulation (LSC), with several rolls stacked on top of each other. We propose that the elliptical instability is the mechanism…
Symmetric instability has broad applications in geophysical and planetary fluid dynamics. It plays a crucial role in the formation of mesoscale rainbands at mid-latitudes on Earth, instability in the ocean's mixed layer, and slantwise…
The possible transition to the so-called ultimate regime, wherein both the bulk and the boundary layers are turbulent, has been an outstanding issue in thermal convection, since the seminal work by Kraichnan [Phys. Fluids 5, 1374 (1962)].…
An efficient semi-implicit second-order-accurate finite-difference method is described for studying incompressible Rayleigh-Benard convection in a box, with sidewalls that are periodic, thermally insulated, or thermally conducting.…
A low-dimensional model of large Prandtl-number ($P$) Rayleigh B\'{e}nard convection is constructed using some of the important modes of pseudospectral direct numerical simulations. A detailed bifurcation analysis of the low-dimensional…
We consider the evolution of two incompressible fluids with homogeneous densities $\rho_-<\rho_+$ subject to gravity described by the inviscid Boussinesq equations and provide the explicit relaxation of the associated differential…
Our understanding of the material organization of complex fluid flows has recently benefited from mathematical developments in the theory of objective coherent structures. These methods have provided a wealth of approaches that identify…
Using direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, we explore the transitions between turbulent states from a 3D flow state towards a quasi-2D condensate known as the large-scale vortex (LSV). We vary the Rayleigh…
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…
Albeit laboratory experiments and numerical simulations have proven themselves successful in enhancing our understanding of long-living large-scale flow structures in horizontally extended Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, some discrepancies…
Interfaces between two fluids are ubiquitous and of special importance for industrial applications, e.g., stabilisation of emulsions. The dynamics of fluid-fluid interfaces is difficult to study because these interfaces are usually…
A series of numerical simulations of thermal convection of Boussinesq fluid with infinite Prandtl number, with Rayleigh number $10^7$, and with the strongly temperature- and depth- dependent viscosity in a three-dimensional spherical shell…
Penetrative turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection which depends on the density maximum of water near $4^\circ\rm{C}$ is studied using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) direct numerical simulations (DNS). The working fluid is…
We present the first large scale numerical simulation of three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection near onset, under free-free boundary conditions for a fluid of Prandtl number $\sigma=0.5$. We find that a spatiotemporally chaotic…
The internal dynamics of baroclinic fronts are governed by a fundamental interplay: turbulent eddies systematically act to disrupt thermal wind balance, with baroclinic eddies flattening isopycnals and barotropic momentum fluxes…
Two-dimensional direct numerical simulations are conducted for convection sustained by uniform internal heating in a horizontal fluid layer. Top and bottom boundary temperatures are fixed and equal. Prandtl numbers range from 0.01 to 100,…
We present three-dimensional Dedalus simulations of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection with a blackbody-radiating free upper surface, subject to a low-amplitude oscillatory forcing that mimics tidal perturbations in convective envelopes of stars…
