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…
Vortex Dynamics in Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Shan-Shan Ding, Guang-Yu Ding, Kai Leong Chong +3
We investigate the spatial distribution and dynamics of the vortices in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a reduced Rayleigh-number range . Under sl…
Inverse centrifugal effect induced by collective motion of vortices in rotating turbulent convection
Shan-Shan Ding, Kai Leong Chong, Jun-Qiang Shi +4
When a fluid system is subject to strong rotation, centrifugal fluid motion is expected, i.e., denser (lighter) fluid moves outward (inward) from (toward) the axis of rotation. Her…
Heat transport scaling and transition in geostrophic rotating convection with varying aspect ratio
Hao-Yuan Lu, Guang-Yu Ding, Jun-Qiang Shi +2
We present high-precision experimental and numerical studies of the Nusselt number as functions of the Rayleigh number in geostrophic rotating convection with domain aspe…
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…
Anomalous vortex motion induced by asymmetric vorticity distribution in rapidly rotating thermal convection
Shan-Shan Ding, Kai Leong Chong, Jun-Qiang Shi +4
In rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection, columnar vortices advect horizontally in a stochastic manner. When the centrifugal buoyancy is present the vortices exhibit radial motions t…
