Flow states in two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection as a function of aspect-ratio and Rayleigh number

Erwin P. van der Poel, Richard J. A. M. Stevens, Kazuyasu Sugiyama +1

In this numerical study on two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection we consider $10^7\le Ra\le 10^{12}$ in aspect ratio $0.23\le \Gamma \le 13$ samples. We focus on several case…
