Energetics and mixing of thermally driven flows in Hele-Shaw cells

Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Thermally driven flows in fractures play a key role in enhancing the heat transfer and fluid mixing across the Earth’s lithosphere. Yet the energy pathways in such confined environments have not been characterised. Building on Letelier et al. (J. Fluid Mec ...
