Numerical Simulation of Density Current Evolution in a Diverging Channel by Mitra Javan, Afshin Eghbalzadeh, Masoud Montazeri Namin

“…This study seeks to explore the ability of 2D width-averaged unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulation approach for resolving density currents in an inclined diverging channel. 2D width-averaged unsteady RANS equations closed by a buoyancy-modified 𝑘−𝜀 turbulence model are integrated in time with a second-order fractional step approach coupled with a direct implicit method and discretized in space on a staggered mesh using a second-order accurate finite volume approach incorporating a high-resolution semi-Lagrangian technique for the convective terms. A series of 2D width-averaged unsteady simulations is carried out for density currents. …”

Eddy Heat Conduction and Nonlinear Stability of a Darcy Lapwood System Analysed by the Finite Spectral Method by Jónas Elíasson

“…A finite Fourier transform is used to perform both linear and nonlinear stability analyses of a Darcy-Lapwood system of convective rolls. The method shows how many modes are unstable, the wave number instability band within each mode, the maximum growth rate (most critical) wave numbers on each mode, and the nonlinear growth rates for each amplitude as a function of the porous Rayleigh number. …”

Simulation Analysis of Air Flow and Turbulence Statistics in a Rib Grit Roughened Duct by I. I. Vogiatzis, A. C. Denizopoulou, G. K. Ntinas, V. P. Fragos

“…Different geometries of roughness elements investigated have demonstrated the pivotal role that vortices and associated turbulence have on the heat transfer characteristics of solar air heater ducts by increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient. In this paper we investigate the two-dimensional, turbulent, unsteady flow around rectangular ribs of variable aspect ratios by directly solving the transient Navier-Stokes and continuity equations using the finite elements method. …”

Decadal Variation in Raindrop Size Distributions in Busan, Korea by Cheol-Hwan You, Dong-In Lee

“…Annual rainfall amount was higher in 2012 than in 2002, as were the annually averaged Dm (which was 0.1 mm greater in 2012) and the frequency of convective rain. Severe rainfall (greater than 20 mm h−1) occurred more frequently and with a larger Dm in 2012. …”

Impact of stellar variability on exoplanet detectability and characterisation by Meunier, Nadège

“…Many physical processes indeed affect the radial velocity measurements: they are mostly due to magnetic features (spots and plages), flows (oscillations, granulation, supergranulation, meridional flows), and to the interactions between magnetic fields and flows (inhibition of the convective blueshift in plages). I present in more detail a selection of studies aiming at characterising the impact of stellar variability, in particular the relationship between activity indicators and radial velocities, and then focusing on mass characterisation and detection performance. …”
