Global differences of temperature and buoyancy flux at the ocean surface are responsible
for small-scale convection at high latitudes, global overturning, and the top-to-bottom density …

Horizontal convection has been used as an idealised model of the ocean overturning
circulation, where some non-uniform buoyancy forcing profile is imposed along a horizontal …

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 …

In the problem of horizontal convection a non-uniform buoyancy, $ b_ {s}(x, y) $, is imposed
on the top surface of a container and all other surfaces are insulating. Horizontal convection …

The effect of background stable temperature stratification in the develo** stage of
horizontal convection is studied by conducting laboratory experiments. By imposing …

Direct numerical simulations are used to investigate the nature of fully resolved small-scale
convection and its role in large-scale circulation in a rotating). The overall heat throughput …

We present a numerical study of horizontal convection using both step and linear forcing
profiles as the imposed surface thermal driving, the former of which is commonly used in …

Horizontal convection at large Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers is studied experimentally in a
regime up to seven orders of magnitude larger in terms of Rayleigh numbers than previously …

We report the existence of two new limiting turbulent regimes in horizontal convection (HC)
using direct numerical simulations at intermediate to low Prandtl numbers. In our …
