FULLY DEVELOPED RAYLEIGH-BÉNARD AND TAYLOR-COUETTE TURBULENCE
Lecturer: Professor Detlef Lohse

Abstract

In this lecture we will summarize our advances in the understanding of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection and turbulent Taylor-Couette flow during the last decade, addressing the progress both in experiments, theory, and numerics. We will also discuss rotating and boiling turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard flow and the drag reduction in bubbly Taylor-Couette flow.
