Bénard–Marangoni convection at low Prandtl number

open access: yes, 1999
Surface-tension-driven Bénard convection in low-Prandtl-number fluids is studied by means of direct numerical simulation. The flow is computed in a three-dimensional rectangular domain with periodic boundary conditions in both horizontal directions ...

Theoretical Assessment of the Sodium Pool Fire's Burning Rate in an Open Environment

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
An evaporation‐based model is developed for sodium pool fires. Experiments demonstrate that the burning rate increases with pool diameter and approaches a quasi‐saturated limit (∼0.013 kg m−2 s−1) governed by oxidation product conversion. ABSTRACT The burning rate of sodium pool fires is a critical parameter for assessing fire development and ...

Hydraulic Activation of Stomata Induced by Hygroscopic Fertilizer Salts Alters Crop Carbon–Water Exchange: Field Evidence From Cereal Crops

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydraulic activation of stomata (HAS), driven by hygroscopic salt films on leaf surfaces, can create an additional pathway for water loss beyond conventional stomatal vapour diffusion, yet this process remains largely overlooked in studies of plant–atmosphere interactions.

Stability of Viscous Three‐Dimensional Stratified Couette Flow via Dispersion and Mixing

open access: yesCommunications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 12, Page 2435-2490, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This article explores the stability of stratified Couette flow in the viscous 3d$3d$ Boussinesq equations. In this system, mixing effects arise from the shearing background, and gravity acts as a restoring force leading to dispersive internal gravity waves.

Effect of liquid bridge volume on the instability in small-Prandtl-number half zones

open access: yes, 1999
A perturbation method is used to examine the linear instability of thermocapillary convection in a liquid bridge of floating half-zone filled with a small Prandtl number fluid.

Low‐Temperature Experimental Characterization of Magnetite‐Based Rock‐Bed Thermal Battery

open access: yesEnergy Storage, Volume 8, Issue 8, December 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the proposed low‐temperature magnetite‐based rock‐bed thermal energy storage (RTES) concept for greenhouse applications and the corresponding experimental configuration. During charging, thermal energy is transferred from solar collectors to the RTES and is stored as sensible heat. During discharge, the stored heat is

Investigation of Turbulence and Turbulent Prandtl Number Models for He-Xe Thermal Hydraulics in Quasi-Triangular Channel

open access: yesEnergies
Compact nuclear reactor systems usually use helium–xenon (He-Xe) mixtures as coolants. Tight-lattice rod-bundled channels, serving as primary core configurations in compact nuclear reactor designs, exhibit quasi-triangular cross-sections where fluid ...
