A new type of convection is proven in granular gases

In physics, thermal convection of a fluid is exhibited by the appearance of geometric structures through which the fluid moves, forming closed circuits. This phenomenon is of vital importance for many industrial applications in which a fluid is present. Bénard convection is one of the most-studied problems in fluid dynamics. Now, a team of scientists from the University of Extremadura and the Sapienza University of Rome has found a new type of convection that appears in a granular fluid a
