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 …

Recent experimental, numerical and theoretical advances in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection are presented. Particular emphasis is given to the physics and structure of the …

The progress in our understanding of several aspects of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection is reviewed. The focus is on the question of how the Nusselt number and the …

The Sun is our nearest star; it is also the most important star that determines life on Earth. A
large variety of phenomena observed on the Sun's surface, with potential impact on Earth, is …

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 …

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 …

We analyze the reversals of the large-scale flow in Rayleigh-Bénard convection both
through particle image velocimetry flow visualization and direct numerical simulations of the …

Combined measurements of velocity components and temperature in a turbulent Rayleigh–
Bénard convection flow at a low Prandtl number of are conducted in a series of experiments …

The coherent structures of a turbulent wake generated behind a bluff three-dimensional
axisymmetric body are investigated experimentally at a diameter-based Reynolds number …

We report an experimental study of the three-dimensional spatial structure of the low-
frequency temperature oscillations in a cylindrical Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell. Through …
