Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanics
  • Convection
  • Geometry

Friedrich H. Busse mainly investigates Convection, Mechanics, Classical mechanics, Prandtl number and Rayleigh–Bénard convection. Friedrich H. Busse studies Convective heat transfer, a branch of Convection. His study in Rayleigh number, Natural convection, Combined forced and natural convection, Convection cell and Instability falls within the category of Mechanics.

Friedrich H. Busse has included themes like Geophysical fluid dynamics, Rotating spheres, Boundary value problem, Turbulence and Vortex in his Classical mechanics study. His Prandtl number study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Magnetic Prandtl number and Turbulent Prandtl number. Friedrich H. Busse focuses mostly in the field of Rayleigh–Bénard convection, narrowing it down to matters related to Nusselt number and, in some cases, Internal heating, Numerical analysis, Mantle and Spectral method.

His most cited work include:

  • Non-linear properties of thermal convection (683 citations)
  • Thermal instabilities in rapidly rotating systems (617 citations)
  • On the stability of steady finite amplitude convection (519 citations)

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

His main research concerns Mechanics, Convection, Classical mechanics, Rayleigh number and Prandtl number. His work in Natural convection, Convection cell, Convective heat transfer, Annulus and Instability are all subfields of Mechanics research. Friedrich H. Busse works in the field of Convection, namely Rayleigh–Bénard convection.

His Classical mechanics research also works with subjects such as

  • Boussinesq approximation most often made with reference to Boundary value problem,
  • Fluid dynamics and related Flow. His Rayleigh number research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Couette flow, Thermal and Wavenumber. He combines subjects such as Magnetic Prandtl number, Turbulent Prandtl number, Nusselt number, Boundary layer and Amplitude with his study of Prandtl number.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (66.92%)
  • Convection (55.47%)
  • Classical mechanics (40.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2021)?

  • Mechanics (66.92%)
  • Convection (55.47%)
  • Classical mechanics (40.05%)

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

Friedrich H. Busse mainly focuses on Mechanics, Convection, Classical mechanics, Dynamo and Rayleigh number. Within one scientific family, Friedrich H. Busse focuses on topics pertaining to Boundary value problem under Mechanics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Boussinesq approximation. His study of Convective heat transfer is a part of Convection.

His Classical mechanics research includes elements of Rotational symmetry, Inertial wave, Spherical shell and Turbulence. His Dynamo study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Astrophysics and Differential rotation. His studies in Rayleigh number integrate themes in fields like Taylor number, Combined forced and natural convection and Optics, Wavenumber.

Between 2004 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Model of the Geodynamo (227 citations)
  • Prandtl-number dependence of convection-driven dynamos in rotating spherical fluid shells (94 citations)
  • Structure of thermal boundary layers in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (88 citations)

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

  • Mechanics
  • Geometry
  • Thermodynamics

Friedrich H. Busse spends much of his time researching Mechanics, Classical mechanics, Convection, Dynamo and Prandtl number. His Mechanics research incorporates elements of Rotation and Differential rotation. His Classical mechanics study incorporates themes from Finite difference, Boundary value problem, Finite element method, K-omega turbulence model and Inertial wave.

His Convection study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Annulus, Geostrophic wind and Rotation around a fixed axis. In the subject of general Dynamo, his work in Dynamo theory is often linked to Bistability, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Friedrich H. Busse has researched Prandtl number in several fields, including Parameter space, Magnetic Prandtl number and Boundary layer.
