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 …

Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection (RRBC) is a laboratory realization of the combined
influence of thermal buoyancy and the rotational Coriolis force. This combination appears in …

We study the influence of thermal boundary conditions on large aspect ratio Rayleigh–
Bénard convection by a joint analysis of experimental and numerical data sets for a Prandtl …

We report the results of direct numerical simulations (DNS) of centrifugal convection (CC) in
an annular container, heated at the outer sidewall and cooled at the inner wall, all subjected …

Three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection in
the planar geometry with no-slip top and bottom and periodic lateral boundary conditions …

The flow transition between rotation-dominated and buoyancy-dominated regimes in
rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection is investigated via direct numerical simulations (DNS) …

Recent studies show the significant effect of the third dimension and flow unsteadiness of
laterally confined Rayleigh–Bénard convection (RBC). However, there are limited studies …

We report flow measurements in rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection in the rotationally
constrained geostrophic regime. We apply stereoscopic particle image velocimetry to …

Our understanding of the material organization of complex fluid flows has benefited recently
from mathematical developments in the theory of objective coherent structures. These …

The organization of convection into relatively long-lived patterns of large spatial scales, like
tropical cyclones, is a common feature of Earth's atmosphere. However, many key aspects of …
