Mixed thermal conditions in convection: how do continents affect the mantle’s circulation?
(Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017-07)Natural convection is omnipresent on Earth. A basic and well-studied model for it is Rayleigh–Bénard convection, the fluid flow in a layer heated from below and cooled from above. Most explorations of Rayleigh–Bénard ... -
Life stages of wall-bounded decay of Taylor-Couette turbulence
