Effects of a temperature-dependent viscosity on thermal convection in binary mixtures.
We investigate the effect of a temperature-dependent viscosity on the onset of thermal convection in a horizontal layer of a binary fluid mixture that is heated from below. For an exponential temperature dependence of the viscosity, we find, in binary mixtures as a function of a positive separation ratio ψ and beyond a certain viscosity contrast, a discontinuous transition between two stationar...
متن کاملBifurcations in a convection problem with temperature-dependent viscosity
A convection problem with temperature-dependent viscosity in an infinite layer is presented. As described, this problem has important applications in mantle convection. The existence of a stationary bifurcation is proved together with a condition to obtain the critical parameters at which the bifurcation takes place. For a general dependence of viscosity with temperature a numerical strategy fo...
متن کاملFree convection in drying binary mixtures: solutal versus thermal instabilities
Free convection occuring during the drying of plane layers of polymer solutions may be due to various mechanisms, based on buoyancy or Marangoni effect, of thermal or solutal origin. This theoretical and numerical work provides all the required tools to analyze thoroughly the problem. In this transient flow, different methods (frozen time, non-normal, nonlinear methods) are proposed to predict ...
متن کاملGlobal Stability for Thermal Convection in a Couple Stress Fluid Saturating a Porous Medium with Temperature-Pressure Dependent Viscosity: Galerkin Method
A global nonlinear stability analysis is performed for a couple-stress fluid layer heated from below saturating a porous medium with temperature-pressure dependent viscosity for different conducting boundary systems. Here, the global nonlinear stability threshold for convection is exactly the same as the linear instability boundary. This optimal result is important because it shows that lineari...
متن کاملOnset of convection with temperature- and depth-dependent viscosity
[1] We derive a scaling law for the onset of convection in an incompressible fluid cooled from above with temperatureand depth-dependent viscosity, on the basis of 2-D numerical simulation. Rayleigh numbers up to 10 are considered. The activation energy is varied from 0 to 200 kJ mol , and a variation of up to 10 is considered in depth-dependent reference viscosity. Our scaling law is shown to ...
