Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Fluid dynamics

His primary scientific interests are in Mechanics, Natural convection, Combined forced and natural convection, Prandtl number and Laminar flow. His work deals with themes such as Plume, Meteorology and Thermodynamics, which intersect with Mechanics. His Thermodynamics study incorporates themes from Salinity and Instability.

His Natural convection course of study focuses on Thermal and Entrainment, Rotational symmetry and Plane. His work in Combined forced and natural convection addresses subjects such as Rayleigh number, which are connected to disciplines such as Forced convection. His Prandtl number study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Grashof number, Film temperature, Flow and Reynolds number.

His most cited work include:

  • Buoyancy-Induced Flows And Transport (971 citations)
  • The nature of vertical natural convection flows resulting from the combined buoyancy effects of thermal and mass diffusion (470 citations)
  • Effects of viscous dissipation in natural convection (345 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Mechanics, Natural convection, Thermodynamics, Buoyancy and Combined forced and natural convection. His Laminar flow, Prandtl number, Turbulence, Convection and Rayleigh number investigations are all subjects of Mechanics research. His Natural convection research incorporates themes from Thermal, Boundary layer, Nusselt number, Plume and Convective heat transfer.

In general Thermodynamics, his work in Heat transfer, Heat flux, Steady state and Heat capacity is often linked to Flux linking many areas of study. His Buoyancy research also works with subjects such as

  • Flow and related Meteorology,
  • Saline water, which have a strong connection to Mineralogy. All of his Combined forced and natural convection and Rayleigh–Bénard convection and Convection cell investigations are sub-components of the entire Combined forced and natural convection study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (70.50%)
  • Natural convection (46.04%)
  • Thermodynamics (41.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1985-1998)?

  • Thermodynamics (41.01%)
  • Heat transfer (20.86%)
  • Mechanics (70.50%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Mechanics, Laminar flow and Buoyancy. In the field of Thermodynamics, his study on Convection, Natural convection, Heat flux and Boiling overlaps with subjects such as Flux. His Heat transfer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Seawater and Analytical chemistry.

His Mechanics research focuses on Turbulence, Combined forced and natural convection, Forced convection and Steady state. His studies in Laminar flow integrate themes in fields like Meteorology and Isothermal process. His Buoyancy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Flow, Viscous dissipation, Classical mechanics, Flow and Dissipation.

Between 1985 and 1998, his most popular works were:

  • Buoyancy-Induced Flows And Transport (971 citations)
  • Organ pipe radiant modes of periodic micromachined silicon surfaces. (149 citations)
  • Polarized spectral emittance from periodic micromachined surfaces. I. Doped silicon: The normal direction. (61 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics
  • Optics

Benjamin Gebhart focuses on Heat transfer, Thermodynamics, Optics, Grating and Silicon. His research integrates issues of Seawater, Thermal expansion, Salinity and Entropy in his study of Heat transfer. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Mechanics and Thermodynamics.

His studies deal with areas such as Perpendicular and Atomic physics as well as Optics. His Heat flux research integrates issues from Stagnation point and Forced convection. His Turbulence research includes themes of Combined forced and natural convection, Atmosphere, Convection and Laminar flow.
