We performed Direct Numerical Simulations of sheared thermal convection to investigate the interplay of buoyancy and flow shearing. The volume renderings are created using highly parallelized ParaView libraries and reveal large-scale structures which can be found very often in nature.References:Blass, A. et al. (2019).
