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 …

Recent experimental, numerical and theoretical advances in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection are presented. Particular emphasis is given to the physics and structure of the …

Enhancement of heat transport across a fluid layer is of fundamental interest as well as great
technological importance. For decades, Rayleigh–Bénard convection has been a paradigm …

We report a novel experimental technique that measures simultaneously in three
dimensions the trajectories, the translation and the rotation of finite-size inertial particles …

We experimentally study the susceptibility to symmetry breaking of a closed turbulent von
Kármán swirling flow from Re= 150 to Re≃ 10 6. We report a divergence of this susceptibility …

Previous numerical studies on homogeneous Rayleigh–Bénard convection, which is
Rayleigh–Bénard convection (RBC) without walls, and therefore without boundary layers …

Through direct numerical simulations, we investigated the flow structure and heat transfer of
the centrally confined 2-D Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection over the Rayleigh number …

Nonlinear simple invariant solutions representing the ultimate scaling have been discovered
to the Navier–Stokes equations for thermal convection between horizontal no-slip …

We report experimental results on the inclined Rayleigh–Bénard convection of a moderate
aspect ratio convection cell using a high Prandtl aqueous solution of glycerol. The main goal …

Previous numerical studies have shown that the 'ultimate regime of thermal convection'can
be attained in a Rayleigh–Bénard cell when the kinetic and thermal boundary layers are …
