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

Advanced 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

Advanced 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 ...

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

Biotechnology 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.

A heat transfer correlation of Poiseuille-Rayleigh-Bénard convection in the thermal entrance region of a horizontal rectangular channel

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
In order to understand heat transfer characteristics and obtain a heat transfer correlation of Poiseuille-Rayleigh-Bénard (P-R-B) convection in the thermal entrance region of a horizontal rectangular channel, we performed a series of the direct numerical

Study of regular and chaotic dynamics in double diffusive Rayleigh-Bénard convection of a micropolar fluid

Results in Engineering
The study explores the behaviour of a micropolar fluid subjected to a double-diffusive Rayleigh-Bénard configuration, focusing on the emergence of regular convection, periodic motion, and chaotic dynamics across a broad range of the scaled Rayleigh ...

The effect of controlled vibrations on Rayleigh-Benard convection

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021
Abstract The paper presents the results of a numerical study of convective heat transfer in a long horizontal layer heated from below with and without the vibration effect of the lower wall. The simulation was carried out on the basis of solving the Navier-Stokes 2D equations for an incompressible fluid in the Boussinesq approximation ...

Information Preservation Modeling of Rayleigh-Benard Transition from Thermal Conduction to Convection

, 2009
Onset and evolution of the Rayleigh-Benard (R-B) convection are investigated using the Information Preservation (IP) method. The information velocity and temperature are updated using the Octant Flux Splitting (OFS) model developed by Masters & Ye based ...

Unsteady Heating of Rayleigh-Benard Convection

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A, 2004
The linear thermal instability of a horizontal fluid layer with time-periodic temperature distribution is studied with the help of the Floquet theory. The time-dependent part of the temperature has been expressed in Fourier series. Disturbances are assumed to be infinitesimal. Only even solutions are considered.
