Incompressible flows and the Boussinesq approximation: 50 years of CFD

Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2022
We offer a synthetic exposition on the state of the art for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) relevant to the Navier–Stokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation, smoothly blending a history of the field with an accessible exposition of the ...

Sparse nonlinear models of chaotic electroconvection

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Convection is a fundamental fluid transport phenomenon, where the large-scale motion of a fluid is driven, for example, by a thermal gradient or an electric potential. Modelling convection has given rise to the development of chaos theory and the reduced-

Energy Spectra in Rayleigh-Benard Convection

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2011
We present a numerical study of the energy spectra and fluxes in the inertial range of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection for a wide range of Prandtl number. We consider both free-slip and no-slip conditions for our simulation. Our results support the Kolmogorov-Obukhov (KO) scaling for velocity field for zero-Prandtl number and low-Prandtl number (P

High‐Resolution LiDAR Observations for Coupled Effects of Dry‐Air Entrainment and Haze‐Cloud Interactions on Cloud Vertical Structure

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract This study demonstrates the high‐resolution profiling of cloud microphysics in a laboratory chamber using Time‐Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) LiDAR. We present a novel retrieval method to derive vertical extinction (σ) $(\sigma )$ profiles, constrained by in situ measurements, to diagnose responses to dry‐air entrainment.

Physics‐Informed Machine Learning Framework to Retroactively Estimate Mantle Thermal Convection From Partial Geophysical Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Mantle convection drives the solid Earth, powering plate motions, volcanism, and earthquakes while regulating planetary heat loss. Reconstructing its history is hampered by sparse, noisy observations concentrated near the surface and the present day. Here I develop an inverse physics‐informed neural network framework to estimate mantle thermal

How Does Ice Shell Geometry Shape Ocean Dynamics on Icy Moons?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A poleward‐thinning ice shell can drive circulation in the subsurface oceans of icy moons by imposing a meridional temperature gradient–colder at the equator than the pole–through the freezing point suppression due to pressure. This temperature gradient sets a buoyancy gradient, whose sign depends on the thermal expansion coefficient ...

Study on the Instability of Two-Phase Flow in the Heat-Absorbing Tube of Trough Solar Collector

International Journal of Photoenergy, 2017
The Marangoni effect and Rayleigh-Benard effect in the two-phase region of solar trough heat-absorbing tube are simulated by FTM (front tracking method). Considering the Marangoni effect alone, although surface tension gradient and surface tension affect

On the Cell Broadening of Mesoscale Cellular Convection in a Well‐Mixed Boundary Layer

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding what controls the horizontal scale of mesoscale cellular convection is central to explaining cloud self‐organization and its radiative impacts. Using a hierarchy of large‐eddy simulations, we investigate cell broadening in a well‐mixed boundary layer by isolating the roles of radiation, cloud microphysics, and water vapor.

Vertical heat transport at infinite Prandtl number for micropolar fluid

Archives of Mechanics, 2020
We investigate the upper bound on the vertical heat transport in the fully 3D Rayleigh–Bénard convection problem at the infinite Prandtl number for a micropolar fluid.
