We report an experimental study of the Prandtl-number effects in quasi-two-dimensional
(quasi-2-D) Rayleigh–Bénard convection. The experiments were conducted in four …

We perform a numerical study of the heat transfer and flow structure of Rayleigh–Bénard
(RB) convection in (in most cases regular) porous media, which are comprised of circular …

The effects of a domain tilt (counterclockwise, γ= 0 0, 30 0 and 60 0) and an anisotropic
thermal diffusion on the natural convection heat transfer inside a square or rectangular …

The coexistence of multiple turbulent states was reported in several recent studies in
different flows. We present in this work that multiple turbulent states also exist for thermal …

We consider the situation of a misalignment between the global temperature gradient and
gravity in thermal convection. In such a case an effective horizontal buoyancy arises that will …

We study numerically the effect of the Prandtl number on the thermal heat storage, heat flux,
and melting dynamics in phase change materials enclosed in square geometries inclined …

Using direct numerical simulations, two-dimensional tilted Rayleigh–Bénard convection
(RBC) is studied in both smooth and roughness-facilitated convection cells of double aspect …

We report two-dimensional simulations and analytic results on the effect of the inclination on
the transient heat transfer, flow, and melting dynamics of a phase change material within a …

In this numerical study on Rayleigh-Bénard convection, we seek to improve the heat transfer
by passive means. To this end we introduce a single tilted conductive barrier centered in an …

Turbulent convection is ubiquitous in nature and industry. Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard
convection (RBC) is a model system for studying various turbulent convection phenomena …
