Natural convection is one of the fundamental flow systems dominating large scale flows that can be observed in natura and industries. Variety of flow patterns created by very slow flows, O<\/em>(1 mm\/s), contains multiple physics and provides important physical insight to understand phenomenon. We have investigated different types of the convections, such as convections induced by internal heat generation [1], Rayleigh-B\u00e9nard convection (RBC) in a liquid metal layer [2], RBC imposed by a horizontal magnetic field [3], and RBC with background rotation [4]. Recent interest is horizontal convection, which is driven by baroclinic torque due to horizontal temperature gradient [5], and its effect on RBC. We mainly have performed experimental approach to these problems with development of flow measurement techniques, such as PIV\/PTV, ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry (UDV; or ultrasonic velocity profiling, UVP), and thermochromic liquid crystals. Large part of the project is collaborated with geoscience group, JAMSTEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
