Measured multiple flow states in turbulent thermal convection with aspect ratio 10
Yi-Zhen Li, Jun-Jie Huo, Xin Chen +1
We report an experimental investigation of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection in a rectangular cell of large aspect ratio () over the Rayleigh number range $5.4\times10^7…

Correlation of internal flow structure with heat transfer efficiency in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Ao Xu, Xin Chen, Feng Wang +1
To understand how internal flow structures manifest themselves in the global heat transfer, we study the correlation between different flow modes and the instantaneous Nusselt numb…

Tristable flow states and reversal of the large-scale circulation in two-dimensional circular convection cells
Ao Xu, Xin Chen, Heng-Dong Xi
We present a numerical study of the flow states and reversals of the large-scale circulation (LSC) in a two-dimensional circular Rayleigh-Bénard cell. Long-time direct numerical si…
