Lagrangian particles and particle clusters in large-aspect-ratio turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection experiment

Prafulla P. Shevkar, Mitanjali, Roshan J. Samuel +2

We perform Lagrangian particle-tracking experiments in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection at aspect ratio Gamma = 10, Rayleigh number Ra = 9.3 x 10^7, and Prandtl number Pr = 4.8…

Circulation Statistics in Rayleigh-Bénard Convection

Giovanni Saisse, Roshan J. Samuel, Luca Moriconi +2

Important statistical properties of velocity circulation in homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT) have been unveiled in recent years, raising the question of whether they persist,…

Transient almost-invariant sets reveal convective heat transfer patterns in plane-layer Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Aleksandar Badza, Gary Froyland, Roshan J. Samuel +1

Horizontally extended plane-layer convection flows are characterized by characteristic patterns of turbulent heat transfer due to the convective fluid motion consisting of a nearly…

Deciphering boundary layer dynamics in high-Rayleigh-number convection using 3360 GPUs and a high-scaling in-situ workflow

Mathis Bode, Damian Alvarez, Paul Fischer +10

Turbulent heat and momentum transfer processes due to thermal convection cover many scales and are of great importance for several natural and technical flows. One consequence is t…

Turbulent mesoscale convection in the Boussinesq limit and beyond

Shadab Alam, Dmitry Krasnov, Ambrish Pandey +4

Mesoscale convection covers an intermediate scale range between small-scale turbulence and the global organization of the convection flow. It is often characterized by an order of…
