A large percentage of solar energy is converted to accumulated thermal energy leading to
temperature rise in the PV panel. The raised PV surface temperature could be utilized for …

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 …

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 …

Buoyancy-driven flows are prevalent in a wide range of geophysical and astrophysical
systems. In this review, we focus on three pivotal effects that significantly influence the …

Transition of natural convection on a circular cooled surface with heated annular extension
is investigated in the present study by numerical simulation. Flow features and regimes of …

Buoyancy-driven flows on a horizontal plate subject to a ramp heating of finite time are
studied in this paper. The dynamics of the thermal boundary layer and the subsequent …

We investigate the dynamics of a fluid layer subject to a bottom heat flux and a top
monotonically increasing temperature profile driving horizontal convection (HC). We use …

The horizontal convection in a square enclosure driven by a linear temperature profile along
the bottom boundary is investigated numerically by using a finite difference method. The …
