Critical effects in Rayleigh-Benard convection

open access: yesJournal de Physique, 1978
The properties of the convection Rayleigh-Bénard phenomenon near its critical threshold of instability are shown to be closely related to those of a second order phase transition. A theory is developed in the framework of the Landau-Hopf hypothesis, and all its predictions are verified by experimental results.

Impact of Uncertain Parameters on Navier–Stokes Equations With Heat Transfer via Polynomial Chaos Expansion

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 557-577, May 2026.
This study investigates the impact of uncertain parameters on Navier–Stokes equations coupled with heat transfer using the Intrusive Polynomial Chaos Method (IPCM). Sensitivity equations are formulated for key input parameters, such as viscosity and thermal diffusivity, and solved numerically using the Finite Element‐Volume method.

Vertical heat transport at infinite Prandtl number for micropolar fluid

open access: yesArchives 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.

Evaluating the Collision‐Coalescence Process in Idealized Cloud Convection Using Large‐Eddy Simulations With Lagrangian Microphysics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Drizzle initiation through the collision and coalescence of cloud droplets plays a crucial role in warm cloud precipitation. Recent theoretical studies suggest that the influence of collisional growth on the droplet size distribution can be quantified by a non‐dimensional drizzle number (Dz).

Topographically Controlled Marangoni-Rayleigh-Bénard Convection in Liquid Metals

open access: yesFluids, 2021
Convection induced in a layer of liquid with a top free surface by a distribution of heating elements at the bottom can be seen as a variant of standard Marangoni–Rayleigh–Bénard Convection where in place of a flat boundary at constant temperature ...

Convection in fluid and porous media [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Scaling of Latitude‐Dependent Heat Transport in Geostrophic Convection

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Latitudinal variations in heat transport shape the thermal and magnetic evolution of rapidly rotating planets, stars, and icy moons. Although global simulations have revealed strong equatorial–polar contrasts, a predictive scaling theory has been lacking.

Fast and Slow Signal Propagation in Abiotic Polypeptide Assemblies

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.
Proteinoid microspheres formed by thermal polymerization of amino acids exhibit spontaneous electrical potential fluctuations without genetic material, membranes, or ion channels. Multi‐electrode recordings and electron microscopy reveal composition‐dependent voltage oscillations, long‐term drifts, and correlated signals across electrodes.

Energy Spectra in Rayleigh-Benard Convection

open access: yesJournal 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
