Traveling waves in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection: analysis of modes and mean flow.
Numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations with rotation for realistic no-slip boundary conditions and a finite annular domain are presented. These simulations reproduce traveling waves observed experimentally. Traveling waves are studied near threshold by using the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE): a mode analysis enables the CGLE coefficients to be determined. The CGLE coefficie...
متن کاملTraveling waves in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
A combined analytical, numerical, and experimental study of the traveling-wave wall mode in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is presented. No-slip top and bottom boundary conditions are used for the numerical computation of the linear stability, and the coefficients of the linear complex Ginzburg-Landau equation are then computed for various rotation rates. Numerical results for the no-slip ...
متن کاملTurbulent convection at high Rayleigh numbers and aspect ratio 4
We report measurements of the Nusselt number, Nu, in turbulent thermal convection in a cylindrical container of aspect ratio 4. The highest Rayleigh number achieved was Ra=2× 10. Except for the last half a decade or so of Ra, experimental conditions obey the Boussinesq approximation accurately. For these conditions, the data show that the logNu–logRa slope saturates at a value close to 1/3, as ...
متن کاملScaling laws for rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Numerical simulations of large aspect ratio, three-dimensional rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection for no-slip boundary conditions have been performed in both cylinders and periodic boxes. We have focused near the threshold for the supercritical bifurcation from the conducting state to a convecting state exhibiting domain chaos. A detailed analysis of these simulations has been carried out and ...
متن کاملCritical torsional modes of convection in rotating fluid spheres at high Taylor numbers
A numerical study of the onset of convection in rotating, internally heated, selfgravitating fluid spheres is presented. The exploration of the stability of the conduction state versus the Taylor and the Prandtl numbers supplies a detailed idea of the laws that fulfil the four types of solutions obtained at low Prandtl numbers. The main result found is that axisymmetric (torsional) modes of con...
