Natural convection arising over vertical and horizontal heated flat surfaces is one of the most
ubiquitous flows at a range of spatiotemporal scales. Despite significant developments over …

Explosive volcanic jets present an unusual dynamic situation of reversing buoyancy. Their
initially negative buoyancy with respect to ambient fluid first opposes the motion, but can …

Heat provides the energy that drives almost all geological phenomena and sets the
temperature at which these phenomena operate. This book explains the key physical …

Plate tectonics on Earth is driven by the subduction and stirring of dense oceanic lithosphere
into the underlying mantle. For such a regime to exist on any planet, stresses associated …

Transport of exhaled droplets and aerosol suspension is a main route for the transmission of
highly infectious respiratory diseases. A poorly ventilated room, where human body heat …

Based on Haar wavelets an efficient numerical method is proposed for the numerical
solution of system of coupled Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) related to the natural …

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) graphene-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanofluid flow
between two squeezing parallel plates in the presence of thermal radiation effects is …

The lattice Boltzmann equation method in two dimensions was used to analyse natural
convective flows. The method was validated with experiments in an open cavity with one of …

We present a systematic experimental study of geometric and physical properties of thermal
plumes in turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection using the thermochromic-liquid-crystal …

Transient natural convection flows around a thin fin on the sidewall of a differentially heated
cavity, which includes a lower intrusion under the fin, a starting plume bypassing the fin and …
