Tuning transport properties through the manipulation of elementary structures has achieved
great success in many areas, such as condensed matter physics. However, the ability to …

To study turbulent thermal convection, one often chooses a Rayleigh-Bénard flow
configuration, where a fluid is confined between a heated bottom plate, a cooled top plate of …

We present global and local statistical properties of turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard (RB)
convection at low Prandtl numbers in this work. A series of high resolution two-dimensional …

In this paper, we report that reversals of the large-scale circulation in two-dimensional
Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection can be suppressed by imposing sinusoidally distributed …

Non-Oberbeck–Boussinesq (NOB) effects in three representative fluids are quantitatively
investigated in two-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard convection. Numerical simulations are …

Many natural and engineering systems are simultaneously subjected to a driving force and a
stabilizing force. The interplay between the two forces, especially for highly nonlinear …

We report an experimental study of the Prandtl-number effects in quasi-two-dimensional
(quasi-2-D) Rayleigh–Bénard convection. The experiments were conducted in four …

Inclined turbulent thermal convection in liquid sodium is studied at large Rayleigh numbers
$ Ra\gtrsim 10^{7} $ based on the results of both experimental measurements and high …

The large-scale circulation (LSC) of fluid is one of the main concepts in turbulent thermal
convection as it is known to be important in global heat and mass transport in the system. In …

Any tilt of a Rayleigh–Bénard convection cell against gravity changes the global flow
structure inside the cell, which leads to a change of the heat and momentum transport …
