Zonal flow driven by convection and convection driven by internal heating
In the first part, Rayleigh-Benard convection is studied in a two-dimensional, horizontally periodic domain with free-slip top and bottom boundaries. This configuration encourages mean horizontal flows of zero horizontal wavenumber, which we study as an idealization of zonal flows in tokamaks, …

Convection in Corrugated Slots
… accurate algorithm suitable for analysis of convection problems in corrugated slots. The second part is devoted to the study of natural convection in corrugated slots. The algorithm uses the immersed boundary conditions (IBC) concept to deal with the irregular form of the solution domain …

Axisymmetric Rayleigh-Benard convection
… thesis considers axisymmetric Rayleigh-Benard convection in an infinite horizontal layer of fluid heated from below major emphasis is placed on a study of the effect of rotation of the layer, where both the stationary and overstable cases are analysed. In Chapter 2, a numerical solution of the …

Downdraft impacts on tropical convection
… the ability for downdrafts to help couple deep convection to high relative-humidity regions in the tropics, and find that entrainment is likely a more important process in this relationship. We discuss the impact of downdrafts in maintaining boundary layer quasi-equilibrium, and find that, in …

Convection enhanced electrochemical energy storage
… a contrast to Li-ion and redox flow batteries, convection batteries harnesses the key benefits of Li-ion batteries and redox flow batteries while overcoming their individual limitations. By incorporating thick electrodes into the cell, the energy density is increased and the cost of the system …

Modeling convection in the Greenland Sea
… examination of the development of a deep convection event observed in the Greenland Sea in 1988-89 is carried out through a combination of modeling, scale estimates, and data analysis. We develop a prognostic one-dimensional mixed layer model which is coupled to a thermodynamic ice model. …

Rain Formation in Shallow Tropical Convection
Despite the time and space constraints placed on the results by the observed evolution of the updrafts, the calculations showed that the process of rain formation in warm convective clouds is simple and efficient, provided that giant and ultragiant CCN are present near cloud base. While more …

Studies in Unsteady Penetrative Thermal Convection
This study concentrates on the dynamics and structure of turbulence in the interfacial region and the upper part of a mixed layer which is capped by a linearly stratified, non-turbulent region. Measurements of the local, instantaneous values of the temperature, the vertical velocity and horizontal …

Chaos in models of double convection
… and then related to a particular double convection problem (compressible convection in a vertical magnetic field); the low-order model proves to be useful in interpreting the behaviour of the full system. Equations describing several types of double convection (convection in a magnetic …
