Asymmetric velocity boundary conditions lead to zonal flow in centrifugal convection
Jun Zhong, Chao Sun
We perform direct numerical simulations of rapidly rotating annular centrifugal convection to investigate how mixed (asymmetric) velocity boundary conditions and geometric curvatur…

Gravity drives the flow within the Stewartson layer in centrifugal convection
Rushi Lai, Jun Zhong, Chao Sun
We conduct three-dimensional numerical simulations on centrifugal convection (CC) in a closed annular container, incorporating gravity and no-slip top and bottom boundaries, to sys…

Uncovering the nanoscopic phase behavior of ternary solutions in the presence of electrolytes: from pre-Ouzo to Ouzo region
Mingbo Li, Rushi Lai, Yadi Tian +3
In this work, we report a comprehensive study of how electrolyte addition governs the structure and stability of surfactant-free microemulsions in a trans-anethol/ethanol/water sys…
