Convective flows in enclosures with vertical temperature or concentration gradients

Convection in rotating flows with simultaneous imposition of radial and vertical temperature gradients

Laboratory experiments were conducted to study heat transport characteristics in a nonhomogeneously heated fluid annulus subjected to rotation along the vertical axis (z). The nonhomogeneous heating was obtained by imposing radial and vertical temperature gradient (ΔT). The parameter range for this study was Rayleigh number, Ra=2.43×10-3.66×10, and Taylor number, Ta=6.45×10-27×10. The working f...

Influence of Horizontal Temperature Gradients on Convective Instabilities with Geophysical Interest

Multicloud convective parametrizations with crude vertical structure

Recent observational analysis reveals the central role of three multi-cloud types, congestus, stratiform, and deep convective cumulus clouds, in the dynamics of large scale convectively coupled Kelvin waves, westward propagating two-day waves, and the Madden–Julian oscillation. The authors have recently developed a systematic model convective parametrization highlighting the dynamic role of the...

Magnetohydrodynamic Free Convection Flows with Thermal Memory over a Moving Vertical Plate in Porous Medium

The unsteady hydro-magnetic free convection flow with heat transfer of a linearly viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid near a moving vertical plate with the constant heat is investigated. The flow domain is the porous half-space and a magnetic field of a variable direction is applied. The Caputo time-fractional derivative is employed in order to introduce a thermal flux consti...

Three-dimensional double-diffusive Marangoni convection in a cubic cavity with horizontal temperature and concentration gradients.

Three-dimensional double-diffusive Marangoni convection in a cubic cavity is studied in the present paper. Both the temperature and solute concentration gradients are applied horizontally. Direct numerical simulations are carried out for surface-tension Reynolds number 10≤Re≤500, surface-tension ratio -2≤R(σ)≤1, and Lewis number 1<Le≤200. Symmetry-breaking pitchfork bifurcation is observed, whi...
