Extracting blood flow characteristics from laser speckle images
Research goal
The aim of the project is to provide a fundamental understanding of the influence of boiling on heat transfer in Rayleigh-Bénard Convection. This matter has only recently been studied by two independent groups. Lakkaraju et al. (2011-2014) have treated bubbles as point particles and neglected nucleate boiling. They have found a significant heat transfer enhancement due to bubbles, in addition to a reduced intermittency. Biferale et al. (2012) have performed Lattice-Boltzmann simulations and found a significantly lower heat transfer enhancement and the opposite effect on intermittency: an enhancement. We wish to address this conflict in literature.
