Experimental and numerical study of turbulent penetrative Rayleigh-Bénard flow of water near 4 °C in a box-shaped container

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
Understanding the reversal process of the large-scale circulation will facilitate system recognition of turbulent penetrative Rayleigh-Bénard convection.

Multiple Steady States in Laminar Rayleigh–Bénard Convection of Air

open access: yesFluids, 2023
In this article, we report on numerical simulations of laminar Rayleigh–Bénard convection of air in cuboids. We provide numerical evidence of the existence of multiple steady states when the aspect ratio of the cuboid is sufficiently large.

Slantwise Convection and Heat Transport in Icy Moon Oceans

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Ocean heat transport on icy moons shapes the ice shell topography, a primary observable of these moons. Two key processes control the heat transport: baroclinic instability driven by surface buoyancy contrasts and convective instability driven by heating from the core.

Large Aerosol Particles Favor Haze Conditions Through Limitations on Water Budget and Activation Kinetics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Experiments in the Pi Convection‐Cloud Chamber conducted by systematically changing the diameter of injected dry aerosol particles while holding the temperature difference constant demonstrate that dry diameter strongly influences the onset of haze‐dominated conditions.

Morphological Regimes of Rotating Moist Convection

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Moist convection is a physical process in planetary atmospheres where the latent heat released by condensation acts as a buoyancy source that can enhance or even trigger an overturning convective instability.

GENETIC SOURCES AND TECTONOPHYSICAL REGULARITIES OF DIVISIBILITY OF THE LITHOSPHERE INTO BLOCKS OF VARIOUS RANKS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF ITS FORMATION: TECTONOPHYSICAL ANALYSIS

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The paper presents the first tectonophysical reconstruction of initial divisibility of the protolithosphere as a result of convection in the cooling primitive mantle. Initial division of the protolithosphere into separate masses, i.e.

A Universal Way to Manipulate Droplet via Light‐Fueled Thermocapillary Convection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 2, 5 January 2026.
A non‐contact light‐induced droplet manipulation strategy fueled by mid‐infrared (MIR) light irradiation is introduced. No additional additives and/or complex substrate are required. Here, thermocapillary convection, directly generated by temperature gradient at outer surface of droplet via localized surface heating, plays a key role to propel the ...

Symmetry Breaking in Chemical Systems: Engineering Complexity Through Self‐Organization and Marangoni Flows

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
We show that solutal Marangoni flows in thin films climbing the outer surfaces of hydrophilic obstacles break circular Belousov‐Zhabotinsky waves into striking flower‐like patterns. Evaporation‐driven surface‐tension gradients, coupled with gravity, trigger the instability; above a threshold, petal number scales linearly with obstacle diameter ...

The Barrel of Ilmenau: A large-scale convection experiment to study dust devil-like flow structures.

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2021
We present an experimental facility for the validation of numerical simulations on atmospheric dust devils in a controlled laboratory experiment. Dust devils are atmospheric air vortices with a vertical axis, and are formed by intense solar radiation and

Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of Fluid Motion and Volumetric Gas–Liquid Mass Transfer in Agitated Platelet Concentrate Storage

open access: yesBiotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2026.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Platelets (PLTs) are small blood cells that play a vital role in stopping bleeding. After donation, they are stored in special bags, but their quality decreases over time. One reason for this decline is the mechanical stress they experience during collection, processing, and storage.
