Turbulent rotating convection confined in a slender cylinder: the sidewall circulation
Xander M. de Wit, Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán, Matteo Madonia +3
Recent studies of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection at high rotation rates and strong thermal forcing have shown a significant discrepancy in total heat transport between experim…
Sharp transitions in rotating turbulent convection: Lagrangian acceleration statistics reveal a second critical Rossby number
Kim M. J. Alards, Rudie P. J. Kunnen, Richard J. A. M. Stevens +3
In RB convection for fluids with Prandtl number , rotation beyond a critical (small) rotation rate is known to cause a sudden enhancement of heat transfer which can be…
Statistical properties of thermally expandable particles in soft Rayleigh-Benard convection
Kim M. J. Alards, Rudie P. J. Kunnen, Herman J. H. Clercx +1
The dynamics of inertial particles in Rayleigh-Bénard convection, where both particles and fluid exhibit thermal expansion, is studied using direct numerical simulations (DNS). We…
