Turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection in cubic cells is studied experimentally using two
similar but not identical experimental setups in different laboratories. Both teams have made …

We present global and local statistical properties of turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard (RB)
convection at low Prandtl numbers in this work. A series of high resolution two-dimensional …

Research on the possibility of future abrupt climate change has been popularized under the
term 'tip** points' and has often been motivated by using simple, low-dimensional …

Hydrodynamic flows exhibit turbulent behaviour which is not well understood till date. When
a fluid is in a gravitational field, the flow becomes even more complex due to the gravity …

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard convection is compared using
results from direct numerical simulations and previous experiments. The phase diagrams for …

The system of turbulent thermal convection is introduced. Progresses in recent decades in
the four major areas of research in turbulent convection are briefly reviewed. Some of 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 investigate the statistical properties of the kinetic is found to be plume dominated.
Moreover, the boundary-layer/plume contributions scale as those predicted by the GL …

We report an experimental and numerical study of the effect of spatial confinement in
turbulent thermal convection. It is found that when the width of the convection cell is …

In this paper, we describe the recent developments in thefield of buoyancy-driven turbulence
with a focus on energy spectrum andflux. Scaling and numerical arguments show that the …
