▪ Abstract The paper reviews striking features of swirling flows—collapse, swirl generation,
vortex breakdown, hysteresis, and axisymmetry breaking—and the mechanisms involved …

Vortex motion is one of the basic states of a flowing continuum. Intere-ingly, in many cases
vorticity is space-localized, generating concentrated vortices. Vortex filaments having …

This paper proposes an improved lattice Boltzmann scheme for incompressible
axisymmetric flows. The scheme has the following features. First, it is still within the …

Automatic parallelization of sequential programs combined with auto-tuning is an alternative
to manual parallelization. With wider research directions and the increased number of …

The axisymmetry-breaking three-dimensional instability of the axisymmetric flow between a
rotating lid and a stationary cylinder is analysed. The flow is governed by two parameters …

Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …

The article describes a complete numerical solution of a recently formulated benchmark
problem devoted to the parametric study of Rayleigh–Bénard instability in rectangular two …

A parametric study of multiple steady states, their stability, onset of oscillatory instability, and
some supercritical unsteady regimes of convective flow of a Boussinesq fluid in laterally …

Counterflows play important roles in nature and technology. A natural example is the Gulf
Stream and the opposite flow in the ocean depths. Technological applications include …

The present paper investigates numerically the hydrodynamic instabilities occurring in a
cylindrical container filled with a conducting viscous fluid and submitted to an axial magnetic …
