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,…
Convection in rotating spherical geometries is an important physical process in planetary and stellar systems. Using continuation methods at low Prandtl number, we find both strong equatorially asymmetric and symmetric polar nonlinear…
A model for homogeneous anisotropic incompressible turbulence is proposed. The model generalizes the GISS model of homogeneous isotropic turbulence; the generalization involves the solution of the GISS equations along a set of integration…
Nonequilibrium conditions fundamentally change how systems undergo phase separation. In systems with temperature gradients, attractive particles have been shown to form periodic patterns and steady convective currents, but a clear…
Mechanisms of nonhelical large-scale dynamos (shear-current dynamo and effect of homogeneous kinetic helicity fluctuations with zero mean) in a homogeneous turbulence with large-scale shear are discussed. We have found that the…
We report experimental observations of hexaroll chaos in inclined layer convection. Two separate populations of defect complexes characterize the defect turbulent state, one the classical penta-hepta defect of hexagonal planform patterns,…
Zonal and meridional axisymmetric flows can deeply impact the rotational and chemical evolution of stars. Therefore, momentum exchanges between waves propagating in stars, differential rotation, and meridional circulation must be carefully…
We analyse the stability of viscoelastic Dean flow (flow of an elastic fluid through a curved two-dimensional channel, driven by an azimuthal pressure gradient) in the absence of fluid inertia. This configuration is well known to exhibit a…
Oscillations in quantum phase about a mean value of $\pi$, observed across micropores connecting two \helium baths, are explained in a Ginzburg-Landau phenomenology. The dynamics arises from the Josephson phase relation,the interbath…
Zonal flows are well known to arise spontaneously out of turbulence. We show that for statistically averaged equations of the stochastically forced generalized Hasegawa-Mima model, steady-state zonal flows and inhomogeneous turbulence fit…
Forced advection of passive tracer, $\theta $, in nonlinear relaxational medium by large scale (Batchelor problem) incompressible velocity field at scales less than the correlation length of the flow and larger than the diffusion scale is…
We study statistical properties of the process $Y(t)$ of a passive advection by quenched random layered flows in situations when the inter-layer transfer is governed by a fractional Brownian motion $X(t)$ with the Hurst index $H \in (0,1)$.…
The Boussinesq equations for Rayleigh-Benard convection are simulated for a cylindrical container with an aspect ratio near 1.5. The transition from an axisymmetric stationary flow to time-dependent flows is studied using nonlinear…
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…
We consider the onset of Boussinesq convection in a horizontal layer of electrically conducting incompressible fluid with rigid electrically insulating horizontal boundaries. The fluid is heated from below and rotates about a vertical axis;…
High-resolution observations show that oscillations and waves in prominence threads are common and that they are attenuated in a few periods. In addition, observers have also reported the presence of material flows in such prominence…
The coefficients defining the mean electromotive force in a Galloway-Proctor flow are determined. This flow shows a two-dimensional pattern and is helical. The pattern wobbles in its plane. Apart from one exception a circular motion of the…
Natural convection is ubiquitous throughout the physical sciences and engineering, yet many of its important properties remain elusive. To study convection in a novel context, we derive and solve a quasilinear form of the Rayleigh-B\'enard…
We report experiments on thermally driven convection in an inclined layer of large aspect ratio in a fluid of Prandtl number $\sigma \approx 1$. We observed a number of new nonlinear, mostly spatio-temporally chaotic, states. At small…
We investigate the onset of convective instability and subsequent transitions near it in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) of electrically conducting low Prandtl-number (Pr) fluids in the simultaneous presence of rotation about the…
