Study of heat and mass transport in Couple-Stress liquid under G-jitter effect

Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2018
In the present paper, we deal with the effect of G-jitter (time periodic gravity modulation) on the stability of double diffusive convection in couple stress liquid by method of non-linear analysis. The infinitesimal disturbances are expanded in terms of

Incompressible flows and the Boussinesq approximation: 50 years of CFD

Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2022
We offer a synthetic exposition on the state of the art for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) relevant to the Navier–Stokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation, smoothly blending a history of the field with an accessible exposition of the ...

Diffusion‐Free Scaling in Rotating Spherical Rayleigh‐Bénard Convection

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Direct numerical simulations are employed to reveal three distinctly different flow regions in rotating spherical Rayleigh‐Bénard convection. In the high‐latitude region I vertical (parallel to the axis of rotation) convective columns are generated ...

Sparse nonlinear models of chaotic electroconvection

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Convection is a fundamental fluid transport phenomenon, where the large-scale motion of a fluid is driven, for example, by a thermal gradient or an electric potential. Modelling convection has given rise to the development of chaos theory and the reduced-

High‐Resolution LiDAR Observations for Coupled Effects of Dry‐Air Entrainment and Haze‐Cloud Interactions on Cloud Vertical Structure

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract This study demonstrates the high‐resolution profiling of cloud microphysics in a laboratory chamber using Time‐Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) LiDAR. We present a novel retrieval method to derive vertical extinction (σ) $(\sigma )$ profiles, constrained by in situ measurements, to diagnose responses to dry‐air entrainment.

Physics‐Informed Machine Learning Framework to Retroactively Estimate Mantle Thermal Convection From Partial Geophysical Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Mantle convection drives the solid Earth, powering plate motions, volcanism, and earthquakes while regulating planetary heat loss. Reconstructing its history is hampered by sparse, noisy observations concentrated near the surface and the present day. Here I develop an inverse physics‐informed neural network framework to estimate mantle thermal

Turbulent superstructures in Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Nature Communications, 2018
Turbulent fluids in nature, counter-intuitively, can exhibit large-scale order that persists for long times. Pandey et al. numerically characterize the formation of these superstructures in turbulent convection by separating the fast motions at small ...

How Does Ice Shell Geometry Shape Ocean Dynamics on Icy Moons?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A poleward‐thinning ice shell can drive circulation in the subsurface oceans of icy moons by imposing a meridional temperature gradient–colder at the equator than the pole–through the freezing point suppression due to pressure. This temperature gradient sets a buoyancy gradient, whose sign depends on the thermal expansion coefficient ...

On the Cell Broadening of Mesoscale Cellular Convection in a Well‐Mixed Boundary Layer

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding what controls the horizontal scale of mesoscale cellular convection is central to explaining cloud self‐organization and its radiative impacts. Using a hierarchy of large‐eddy simulations, we investigate cell broadening in a well‐mixed boundary layer by isolating the roles of radiation, cloud microphysics, and water vapor.
