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 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 …

We present a numerical scheme geared for high performance computation of wall-bounded
turbulent flows. The number of all-to-all communications is decreased to only six instances …

Measurements of the Nusselt number Nu and of a Reynolds number Re eff for Rayleigh-
Bénard convection (RBC) over the Rayleigh-number range 10 12≲ Ra≲ 10 15 and for …

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 unifying theory of scaling in thermal convection (Grossmann & Lohse, J. Fluid. Mech.,
vol. 407, 2000, pp. 27–56; henceforth the GL theory) suggests that there are no pure power …

We use highly resolved numerical simulations to study turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection in a cell with sinusoidally rough upper and lower surfaces in two dimensions for …

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 …
