Hexagonal convection patterns in atomistically simulated fluids.
Molecular dynamics simulation has been used to model pattern formation in three-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection at the discrete-particle level. Two examples are considered, one in which an almost perfect array of hexagonally shaped convection rolls appears, the other a much narrower system that forms a set of linear rolls; both pattern types are familiar from experiment. The nature of th...
متن کاملHexagonal Patterns in a Model for Rotating convection
We study a model equation that mimics convection under rotation in a fluid with temperaturedependent properties (non-Boussinesq (NB)), high Prandtl number and idealized boundary conditions. It is based on a model equation proposed by Segel [1965] by adding rotation terms that lead to a Kiippers-Lortz instability [Kuppers & Lortz, 1969] and can develop into oscillating hexagons. We perform a wea...
متن کاملStability of hexagonal patterns in Bénard-Marangoni convection.
Hexagonal patterns in Bénard-Marangoni (BM) convection are studied within the framework of amplitude equations. Near threshold they can be described with Ginzburg-Landau equations that include spatial quadratic terms. The planform selection problem between hexagons and rolls is investigated by explicitly calculating the coefficients of the Ginzburg-Landau equations in terms of the parameters of...
متن کاملNonlinear analysis of the coupling between interface deflection and hexagonal patterns in Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni convection.
An analytical study is conducted to examine the coupling between buoyancy and surface tension forces in a shallow pool of a Boussinesq fluid. The liquid layer is bounded below by a rigid and poorly conducting plate, and is open to the air at its upper deformable free surface. At the onset of convection, the coupling between buoyancy and surface-tension-induced instabilities is represented by a ...
متن کاملSecondary instabilities of hexagonal patterns in a Bénard-Marangoni convection experiment.
We have identified experimentally secondary instability mechanisms that restrict the stable band of wave numbers for ideal hexagons in Bénard-Marangoni convection. We use "thermal laser writing" to impose long wave perturbations of ideal hexagonal patterns as initial conditions and measure the growth rates of the perturbations. For epsilon=0.46 our results suggest a longitudinal phase instabili...
