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

On scaling laws in turbulent magnetohydrodynamic Rayleigh–Benard convection [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2008
We invoke the concepts of magnetic boundary layer and magnetic Rayleigh number and use the magnetic energy dissipation rates in the bulk and the boundary layers to derive some scaling laws expressing how Nusselt number depends on magnetic Rayleigh number, Prandtl number and magnetic Prandtl number for the simple case of turbulent magnetohydrodynamic ...

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.

Exploring the Effects of Reduced Gravitational Field Impacts on Convective Heat Transfer: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesHeat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 764-774, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes.

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.

Coherent structures in boundary layers of Rayleigh-Benard convection

open access: yes, 2004
A coherent structure is revealed experimentally by a dyeing technique in the boundary layer of Rayleigh-Benard convection in water. Dye accumulates in streaks aligned with the mean flow.
