Physical Mechanism behind the Early Onset of the Ultimate State in Supergravitational Centrifugal Thermal Convection
Lei Ren, Jun Zhong, Rushi Lai +1
We present a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the transition from the classical to the ultimate regime of thermal turbulence in a supergravitational centrifugal…

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…
