Instability from steady and axisymmetric to steady and asymmetric floating half zone convection in a fat liquid bridge of larger Prandtl number

open access: yes, 1999
The linear instability analysis of the present paper shows that the thermocapillary convection in a half floating zone of larger Prandtl number has a steady instability mode w(i) = 0 and m = 1 for a fat liquid bridge V = 1.2 with small geometrical aspect

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.

Two Bifurcation Transition Processes in Floating Half Zone Convection of Larger Prandtl Number Fluid

open access: yes, 2002
Processes of the onset oscillation in the thermocapillaxy convection under the Earth's gravity are investigated by the numerical simulation and experiments in a floating half zone of large Prandtl number with different volume ratio.

Onset of zero Prandtl number convection

open access: yes, 1992
The transition to convection in a zero Prandtl number fluid with stress-free and perfectly conducting boundaries differs significantly from finite Prandtl number convection, giving rise to a three-dimensional pattern. Two possible scenarios are described

The Curious Life of Walter Lode

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper is intended to serve as a supplement to the work [PAMM ‐ Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics 24, no. 2 (2024): e202400004] to underline the significance of the Lode angle and Lode parameter—concepts attributed to Walter Lode—for the development of modern plasticity theory.

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 ...

Nonlinear dynamos at infinite magnetic Prandtl number [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2011
The dynamo instability is investigated in the limit of infinite magnetic Prandtl number. In this limit the fluid is assumed to be very viscous so that the inertial terms can be neglected and the flow is slaved to the forcing. The forcing consist of an external forcing function that drives the dynamo flow and the resulting Lorentz force caused by the ...
