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 …

External modulation on thermal convection has been studied extensively to achieve the
control of flow structures and heat-transfer efficiency. In this paper, we carry out direct …

A review has been conducted to understand buoyancy-induced vortex flow behaviour,
establish control parameters, and to assess the possibility of harnessing kinetic energy in …

We present an experimental and numerical study of turbulent thermal convection in the
presence of an effective horizontal buoyancy that generates extra shear at the boundary …

We analyze the Prandtl number (Pr) dependence of spectra and fluxes of kinetic energy, as
well as the energy injection rates and dissipation rates, of turbulent thermal convection using …

The topology and the dynamics of Vogel–Escudier flow, which is the flow inside a circular
cylinder with a top rotating lid, are presented in this paper. A three-dimensional direct …

Measurements were conducted within the flow field of a buoyancy-induced vortex at
laboratory scale with a constant heat flux as input at the ground with swirl vanes set at 30° …

Rotating thermal convection, commonly encountered in natural and industrial environments,
is typically influenced by both buoyancy forces and boundary rotation. In this study, we …

This study proposes the buoyancy and velocity field synergy principle and aims to enhance
thermo-hydraulic performance in convective heat transfer. A mechanical energy …

This paper examines the effect of unstable thermal stratification on vortex breakdown in
Vogel–Escudier flow. A three-dimensional direct numerical simulation of Navier–Stokes and …
