Raleigh Bernard Convection
Perturbation of the Raleigh Bernard Convection in a rotating spherical shell is visualized using a 3D simulation. The simulation is based on the Navier-Stokes equations and uses a sparse spectral method to solve the equations in spherical coordinates.[Read More]
Vortex Breakdown
The dynamics of a vortex breakdown near the pole of a spherical shell is visualized using a 3D simulation.[Read More]
Bluff body wake
Active flow control of a bluff body with blunt trailing edge is visualized using a 2D numerical simulation.[Read More]
Bifurcations
Phase space reconstruction of period doubling bifurcation[Read More]

Thermal Plume Dynamics
The dynamics of a thermal plume in a buoyancy driven rotating spherical shell is visualized using a 3D simulation.[Read More]
