Phase diagram of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow

We will present the results of our recent numerical work on the nature of the phase diagram of turbulent Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, both with co- and counterrotating cylinder. The work can be seen as the extension of the famous experimental Andereck et al. phase diagram for Taylor-Couette flow just above the onset of instabilities, towards the...

Double diffusive convection between two parallel plates with different boundary conditions

We investigate the double diffusive convection between two parallel plates with either no-slip or free-slip boundary conditions. Direct numerical simulations have been conducted systematically for a series of control parameters. Salt fingers can be observed for both boundary conditions and all parameters explored. Compared to the no-slip case,...
