Large Scale Structures in Rayleigh-Bénard Convection at High Rayleigh Numbers
Direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a plane layer with periodic boundary conditions at Rayleigh numbers up to 10(7) show that flow structures can be objectively classified as large or small scale structures because of a gap in spatial spectra. The typical size of the large scale structures does not always vary monotonically as

Marginal Stability of Oscillatory Bénard-Marangoni Convection With Internal Heat Generation
The onset of oscillatory Benard-Marangoni convection in a horizontal fluid layer with internal heat generation and a deformable free surface is studied using an analytical technique employing the classical linear stability theory.

A boundary-layer analysis of Rayleigh-Bénard convection at large Rayleigh number
A boundary-layer analysis is presented for the two-dimensional nonlinear convection of an infinite-Prandtl-number fluid in a rectangular enclosure, in the limit of large Rayleigh numbers. Particular emphasis is given to the analysis of the periodic boundary layers, and on the removal of the singularities that appear near the corners of the cell.

Effect of a polymer additive on heat transport in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection [PDF]
Measurements of heat transport, as expressed by the Nusselt number $Nu$, are reported for turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection of water containing up to 120 ppm by weight of poly-[ethylene oxide] with a molecular weight of $4\times10^6$ g/mole.

Plume structure in high-Rayleigh-number convection [PDF]
Near-wall structures in turbulent natural convection at Rayleigh numbers of $10^{10}$ to $10^{11}$ at A Schmidt number of 602 are visualized by a new method of driving the convection across a fine membrane using concentration differences of sodium chloride. The visualizations show the near-wall flow to consist of sheet plumes.

Penetrative convection at high Rayleigh numbers
We study penetrative convection of a fluid confined between two horizontal plates, the temperatures of which are such that a temperature of maximum density lies between them. The range of Rayleigh numbers studied is $Ra = \left[10^6, 10^8 \right]$ and the Prandtl numbers are $Pr = 1$ and $11.6$.
