We study the structure of the thermal and viscous boundary layers in three-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection\, a paradigm of these flows\, for a range of Rayleigh numbers Ra=1e+5 to 1 e+11 at Prandtl numbes of Pr=0.7 in direct numerical simulations. The convection flow evolves in a plane layer of aspect ratio 4H:4H:H with H being the layer height. We report the following findings: For the hi ghest Rayleigh numbers\, a hierarchy of thermal plumes is observed. Fi ner plumes close to the wall merge to bigger ones further away from th e wall. The plume spacing is found to be self-similar\, which suggests local boundary layer instability mechanisms at work. The velocity fie ld close to the wall can be decomposed into shear-dominated (with diff erent directions) and shear-free regions. There is no coherent shear f low covering the whole boundary plate\, as assumed in several theories of turbulent heat transfer. We discuss possible connections of these findings to the scaling of the turbulent heat transfer with Rayleigh n umber which is close to a 1/3-power law.

Economou UID:560f-353f-ea96-5573@www.cbi.tf.fau.eu DESCRIPTION:Title: From atoms and molecules to materials: Design of no vel membranes for gas separation The unprecedented increase of computi ng power at affordable price and the development of advanced computati onal techniques spanning from the sub-molecular all the way to the mac roscopic engineering level has made computational molecular engineerin g a very powerful tool for the design of novel advanced materials with tailor-made properties. In this lecture\, we will present a predictiv e model for the accurate design of highly selective Zeolitic-imidazola te Frameworks (ZIFs) for the separation of various gas mixtures\, usin g a combination of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations\, mole cular simulation (both Molecular Dynamics and Grand Canonical Monte Ca rlo) and finally a Machine Learning model that allows massive screenin g of various structures whose relevant properties are generated by mol ecular simulation or experimental data [1]. Furthermore\, a coarse-gra ined model based on Martini 3 representation will be shown to provide accurate structural and permeability predictions for various gases in ZIFs [2]. This approach can be generalized and used for other nanoporo us materials for various applications. An immediate example refers to mixed matrix membranes where ZIFs are dispersed in a polymer matrix. I n this application\, a coarse-grained model for the polymer based on M artini 3 will be also presented [3]. Model predictions are in excellen t agreement with experimental data [4].
