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 …

Convection-driven porous media flows are common in industrial processes and in nature.
The multiscale and multiphase character of these systems and the inherent nonlinear flow …

To study turbulent thermal convection, one often chooses a Rayleigh-Bénard flow
configuration, where a fluid is confined between a heated bottom plate, a cooled top plate of …

Despite the ubiquity of thermal convection in nature and artificial systems, we still lack a
unified formulation that integrates the system's geometry, fluid properties, and thermal …

We report an experimental study of the Prandtl-number effects in quasi-two-dimensional
(quasi-2-D) Rayleigh–Bénard convection. The experiments were conducted in four …

Numerical simulation is an important tool for understanding the physics of flows in porous
media and for making predictions. The state of the art of multiscale modeling and simulation …

Storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in saline aquifers is a promising tool to stabilize the
anthropogenic CO 2 emissions. At the reservoir conditions, injected CO 2 is buoyant with …

In this Letter, we propose a novel strategy for significantly enhancing the heat transfer in
convection turbulence. By introducing a boundary deformation of the standing-wave type …

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 …

A 2-D steady-state laminar natural convective flow due to buoyancy force around a
concentric adiabatic cylinder placed inside a porous trapezoidal enclosure was analyzed …
