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.

Moist Rayleigh-Benard convection

open access: yes, 2015
We report the observations from turbulent thermal Rayleigh-Benard convection experiment with a two-phase liquid-vapor binary mixture. Evaporation/condensation processes in a turbulent convection are accompanied by the formation of cloud like structures ...

The Rayleigh-Benard Convection in Rarefied Gases [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
In the present paper we investigate the Rayleigh-Benard convection in rarefied gases and demonstrate by numerical experiments the transition from purely thermal conduction to a natural convective flow for a large range of Knudsen numbers from 0.02 downto

Route to hyperchaos in Rayleigh-Benard convection

open access: yes, 2015
Transition to hyperchaotic regimes in Rayleigh-Benard convection in a square periodicity cell is studied by three-dimensional numerical simulations.

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

Initial layer problem of the Boussinesq system for Rayleigh-Bénard convection with infinite Prandtl number limit

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2018
The main purpose of this paper is to study the initial layer problem and the infinite Prandtl number limit of Rayleigh-Bénard convection with an ill prepared initial data.

Impacts of high viscosity variation and internal heating on mantle convection in different aspect ratio cells

open access: yesHeliyon
This study examines the Rayleigh-Bénard convection model with free slip boundary conditions appropriate for the Earth's mantle in narrow and elongated cells with aspect ratios of 1:2 and 2:1, respectively.

Two-Dimensional Lattice Boltzmann for Reactive Rayleigh–Bénard and Bénard–Poiseuille Regimes

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
We perform a computer simulation of the reaction-diffusion and convection that takes place in Rayleigh–Bénard and Bénard–Poiseuille regimes. The lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) is used along with the Boussinesq approximation to solve the non-linear ...

Analysis of Turbulent Free Convection in a Rectangular Rayleigh-Benard Cell

open access: yes, 2007
The present study compares results of direct numerical simulations of thermal convection within a rectangular geometry with Rayleigh-Benard convection in thin fluid layers and cylindrical geometries.
