Thermal convection is one of the basic modes (thermal convection, thermal conduction,
thermal radiation) of heat transfer, and it belongs to the thermo-fluid mechanics. With the …

In this study, we investigate the impact of spatial temperature modulation on vertical
convection (VC) and analyze how the efficiency of heat transfer varies with modulation …

Abstract We utilize the Open Accelerator (OpenACC) approach for graphics processing unit
(GPU) accelerated particle-resolved thermal lattice Boltzmann (LB) simulation. We adopt the …

We studied the flow organization and heat transfer properties in two-dimensional and three-
dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard cells that are imposed with different types of wall shear. The …

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 an experimental study about the effect of an obstructed centre on heat transport
and flow reversal by inserting an adiabatic cylinder at the centre of a quasi-two-dimensional …

We present an experimental study of flow structures in turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard
convection in annular cells of aspect ratios Γ= 1, 2 and 4, and radius ratio⋍ 0.5. The …

We report a numerical investigation of a previously noticed but less explored flow state
transition in two-dimensional turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection. The simulations are …

We introduce a low-order dynamical system to describe thermal convection in an annular
domain. The model derives systematically from a Fourier–Laurent truncation of the …
