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 …

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 …

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 …

This study investigates the effect of vibration on the flow structure transitions in thermal
vibrational convection (TVC) systems, which occur when a fluid layer with a temperature …

With the aim of efficiently simulating three-dimensional multiphase turbulent flows with a
phase-field method, we propose a new discretization scheme for the biharmonic term (the …

Vertical convection (VC) under the action of vertical vibration in a square cavity has been
investigated using direct numerical simulation. The simulations are conducted with Prandtl …

Collisional growth of cloud droplets is an essential yet uncertain process for drizzle and
precipitation formation. To improve the quantitative understanding of this key component of …

How fast ice melts in turbulent flows is key to many natural and industrial processes, most
notably the melting of ice in the polar regions. To get a better quantitative understanding of …

Phase change material/metal foam based exchangers are widely used in thermal energy
storage and ocean engineering. In this paper, a novel heat exchanger called multi-segment …

Using complementary experiments and direct numerical simulations, we study turbulent
thermal convection of a liquid metal (Prandtl number. Furthermore, we present a novel …
