Standing and travelling waves in cylindrical RayleighBnard convection
The Boussinesq equations for Rayleigh–Bénard convection are simulated for a cylindrical container with an aspect ratio near 1.5. The transition from an axisymmetric stationary flow to time-dependent flows is studied using nonlinear simulations, linear stability analysis and bifurcation theory. At a Rayleigh number near 25 000, the axisymmetric flow becomes unstable to standing or travelling azi...
متن کاملStructure of thermal boundary layers in turbulent RayleighBnard convection
We report high-resolution local-temperature measurements in the upper boundary layer of turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection with variable Rayleigh number Ra and aspect ratio Γ . The primary purpose of the work is to create a comprehensive data set of temperature profiles against which various phenomenological theories and numerical simulations can be tested. We performed two series of mea...
متن کاملBoundary conditions and linear analysis of finite-cell RayleighBnard convection
The linear stability of finite-cell pure-fluid Rayleigh-Be'nard convection subject to any homogeneous viscous and/or thermal boundary conditions is investigated via a variational formalism and a perturbative approach. Some general properties of the critical Rayleigh number with respect to change of boundary conditions or system size are derived. It is shown that the chemical reaction4iffusion m...
متن کاملRotations and cessations of the large-scale circulation in turbulent RayleighBnard convection
We present a broad range of measurements of the angular orientation θ0(t) of the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection as a function of time. We used two cylindrical samples of different overall sizes, but each with its diameter nearly equal to its height. The fluid was water with a Prandtl number of 4.38. The time series θ0(t) consisted of meanderings similar to...
متن کاملThe search for slow transients, and the effect of imperfect vertical alignment, in turbulent RayleighBnard convection
We report experimental results for the influence of a tilt angle β relative to gravity on turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection of cylindrical samples. The measurements were made at Rayleigh numbers R up to 10 11 with two samples of height L equal to the diameter D (aspect ratio Γ ≡ D/L 1), one with L 0.5 m (the 'large' sample) and the other with L 0.25 m (the 'medium' sample). The fluid was wat...
