Liquid metal batteries are proposed for low-cost grid scale energy storage. During their
operation, solid intermetallic phases often form in the cathode and are known to limit the …

The linear global stability of laminar buoyant jets and plumes is investigated under the low-
Mach-number approximation. For Richardson numbers in the range (plume) regimes. A …

Convective flow in a bottom heated cavity with a ventilation duct is experimentally
investigated using flow visualization and temperature measurement. Flow visualization …

The linear temporal and absolute/convective stability characteristics of a thermal plume
generated along a heated vertical cylinder are investigated theoretically under the …

In this study, we performed a set of experiments of the thermal plume on an open cylinder
heated from below and a simple scaling analysis. The flow structure of the plume was …

Natural convection has attracted considerable research, due to its importance to both the
fundamental understanding of fluid dynamics/heat transfer and engineering applications …

Recent experiments using a rapidly rotating and precessing cylinder have shown that for
specific values of the precession rate, aspect ratio and tilt angle, sudden catastrophic …

Buoyancy-driven flows on a horizontal plate subject to a ramp heating of finite time are
studied in this paper. The dynamics of the thermal boundary layer and the subsequent …

Transition of natural convection on a circular cooled surface with heated annular extension
is investigated in the present study by numerical simulation. Flow features and regimes of …

The human thermal plume induced by body heat loss has a significantly impact on human
thermal comfort, contaminant transport and indoor air quality. Few studies focused on the …
