Strong Rayleigh-Darcy convection regime in three-dimensional porous media

We perform large-scale numerical simulations to study Rayleigh-Darcy convection in three-dimensional fluid-saturated porous media up to Rayleigh-Darcy number. At these large values of, the flow is dominated by large columnar structures - called megaplumes - which span the entire height of the domain...
