Article Abstract

A theoretical investigation of the convective instability problem in the thin horizontal layer of a magnetic fluid heated from below and under alternating magnetic fields is carried out. Both the quasistationary model and the model with internal rotation with vortex viscosity are considered. Floquet theory is used for discussing the existence and stability boundaries of the differential equations with periodic coefficients. The Chebyshev pseudospectral method is employed to discretize the partial differential equation, and QZ algorithm is used for solving the eigenvalue problem. For quasistationary model, both free-free and rigid-rigid boundary cases are considered, whereas for the model with internal rotation only rigid-rigid boundary condition is studied. The effect of frequency variations on the stability are considered in all the cases.

Homogeneous boiling over melting ice.

We report on discovering the homogeneous boiling within a liquid film residual resting in equilibrium over a melting ice block. This phenomenon was induced via longwave infrared radiation generated by a continuous wave [Formula: see text] laser. This investigation employed a high-speed camera and the Schlieren visualization technique.

The hydrodynamic and thermal interactions between neighboring vapor bubbles on hot surfaces play a crucial role in heat transport and flow characteristics. To investigate these interactions, we conducted numerical simulations of saturated vapor bubbles in a two-dimensional square enclosure filled with liquid water. The water was heated at the bottom and cooled at the top to replicate boiling at 100^{∘}C and normal atmospheric pressure.

This paper revisits the distribution of thermodynamic variables within initial protoplanets formed via gravitational instability (GI) across a broad mass spectrum ranging from (where denotes 1 Jupiter mass, equal to g), using the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM), a novel approach in this context. Concerning heat transfer within the protoplanets, consideration is given to the convective mode. Our findings reveal a noteworthy alignment between the results obtained via the HAM, utilizing only the first four terms (third approximation), and numerical outcomes.

Exploring buoyancy-driven effects in chemo-hydrodynamic oscillations sustained by bimolecular reactions.

Exotic dynamics, previously associated only with reactions involving complex kinetics, have been observed even with simple bimolecular reactions A + B → C, when coupled with hydrodynamical flows. Numerical studies in two-dimensional reactors have shown that oscillatory dynamics can emerge from an antagonistic coupling between chemically-driven buoyancy and Marangoni convective flows, induced by changes in density and surface tension, respectively, as the reaction occurs. Here, we investigate reactions increasing both surface tension and density, leading to a cooperative coupling between the flows and show how, in this configuration, buoyancy-driven contribution dampens spatio-temporal oscillations of concentration.

Severe convective storms are among the most dangerous weather phenomena and accurate forecasts mitigate their impacts. The recently released suite of AI-based weather models produces medium-range forecasts within seconds, with a skill similar to state-of-the-art operational forecasts for variables on single levels. However, predicting severe thunderstorm environments requires accurate combinations of dynamic and thermodynamic variables and the vertical structure of the atmosphere.
