    A Gaussian process regression accelerated multiscale model for conduction-radiation heat transfer in periodic composite materials with temperature-dependent thermal properties

    Prediction of the coupled conduction-radiation heat transfer in composite materials with periodic structure is important in high-temperature applications of the materials. The temperature dependence of thermal...

    Dust Devil Steady-State Structure from a Fluid Dynamics Perspective

    Simple analytical models for the flow structure of dust devils in steady state, and a “thermophysical” scaling theory that explains how these flow structures are maintained are reviewed. Then, results from hig...

    History and Applications of Dust Devil Studies

    Studies of dust devils, and their impact on society, are reviewed. Dust devils have been noted since antiquity, and have been documented in many countries, as well as on the planet Mars. As time-variable vorte...

    Large-Eddy Simulations of Dust Devils and Convective Vortices

    In this review, we address the use of numerical computations called Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) to study dust devils, and the more general class of atmospheric phenomena they belong to (convective vortices). ...
