Thermally driven turbulent flows are omnipresent in nature and technology. A good
understanding of the physical principles governing such flows is key for numerous problems …

The progress in our understanding of several aspects of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection is reviewed. The focus is on the question of how the Nusselt number and the …

The properties of the structure functions and other small-scale quantities in turbulent
Rayleigh-Bénard convection are reviewed, from an experimental, theoretical, and numerical …

Abstract Results on the Prandtl–Blasius-type kinetic and thermal boundary layer (BL)
thicknesses in turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection in a broad range of Prandtl …

Very different types of scaling of the Nusselt number Nu with the Rayleigh number Ra have
experimentally been found in the very large Ra regime beyond 10 11⁠. We understand and …

Hydrodynamic flows exhibit turbulent behaviour which is not well understood till date. When
a fluid is in a gravitational field, the flow becomes even more complex due to the gravity …

In thermal convection, roughness is often used as a means to enhance heat transport,
expressed in Nusselt number. Yet there is no consensus on whether the Nusselt vs Rayleigh …

We investigate the statistical properties of the kinetic is found to be plume dominated.
Moreover, the boundary-layer/plume contributions scale as those predicted by the GL …

In turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection with regular, mono-scale, surface roughness,
the scaling exponent, when the smaller roughness elements fully protrude through the …

Results from direct numerical simulations of vertical natural convection at Rayleigh numbers-
power of a wind-based Reynolds number, where the 'wind'of the GL theory is interpreted as …
