Scale-dependent force balance governs transition to the geostrophic regime in liquid metal rotating convection
Shao-Peng Yang, Lin Sun, Guang-Yu Ding +2
Rotating convection in low-Prandtl-number liquid metal drives dynamo action in the Earth's outer core and is central to planetary interior dynamics. It has been proposed that flow…
Flow states and heat transport in liquid metal convection
Lei Ren, Xin Tao, Lu Zhang +3
We present an experimental study of Rayleigh-Bénard convection using liquid metal alloy gallium-indium-tin as the working fluid with a Prandtl number of . The flow state…
Universal fluctuations in the bulk of Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence
Yi-Chao Xie, Bu-Ying-Chao Cheng, Yun-Bing Hu +1
We present an investigation of the root-mean-square (rms) temperature and the rms velocity in the bulk of Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence, using new experimental data from t…
Turbulent thermal convection over rough plates with varying roughness geometries
Yi-Chao Xie, Ke-Qing Xia
We present a systematic investigation of the effects of roughness geometry on turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) over rough plates with pyramid-shaped and periodically dist…
Dynamics and flow-coupling in two-layer turbulent thermal convection
Yi-Chao Xie, Ke-Qing Xia
We present an experimental investigation of the dynamics and flow-coupling of convective turbulent flows in a cylindrical Rayleigh-Benard convection cell with two immiscible fluids…
Effects of polymer additives in the bulk of turbulent thermal convection
Yi-Chao Xie, Shi-Di Huang, Denis Funfschilling +3
We present experimental evidence that a minute amount of polymer additives can significantly enhance heat transport in the bulk region of turbulent thermal convection. The effects…
