Predicting flow reversals in chaotic natural convection using data assimilation

A simplified model of natural convection, similar to the Lorenz system, is compared to computational fluid dynamics simulations of a thermosyphon in order to test data assimilation (DA) methods and better understand the dynamics of convection. The thermosyphon is represented by a long time flow simu...
