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

Controlling the Collective Transport of Large Passive Particles With Suspensions of Microorganisms
Small, Volume 22, Issue 18, 25 March 2026.Directional light stimuli induce the accumulation of microalgae in suspensions of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This accumulation triggers large scale bioconvection rolls capable of macroscale transport. Exploiting these bioconvective flows enables to collectively transport of hundreds of large passive particles, paving the way for future applications in ...

Convection in fluid and porous media [PDF]
, 2003 The subject of convection in fluid and porous media is investigated. Particular attention is paid to penetrative convection. The first two chapters are devoted to penetrative convection when fluid overlies and saturates a porous medium.

Slantwise Convection and Heat Transport in Icy Moon Oceans
Geophysical 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.

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

Geophysical 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.

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

Numerical Study of Rotating Thermal Convection on a Hemisphere
Fluids, 2020 Numerical simulations of rotating two-dimensional turbulent thermal convection on a hemisphere are presented in this paper. Previous experiments on a half soap bubble located on a heated plate have been used for studying thermal convection as well as the
