Onset 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 ...
متن کاملBoundary-layer thickness and instabilities in Bénard convection of a liquid with a temperature-dependent viscosity
New and published experimental measurements of spatial and temporal aspects of variable-viscosity convection are compared with boundary layer models. Viscosity m is assumed to decrease with increasing temperature T so that convection occurs beneath a relatively stagnant layer. Of particular interest to applications involving asymptotically large viscosity variations, is the result that both the...
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 کاملOnset of convection in fluids with strongly temperature-dependent, power-law viscosity
The onset of convection in the power-law creep regime on the terrestrial planets and icy satellites is poorly constrained. The major difficulty is that the viscosity of power-law fluids approaches infinity when the perturbation amplitudes approach zero and thus the methods of linear theory are inapplicable. Here, we determine the critical Rayleigh number for the onset of convection by starting ...
متن کاملOn the onset of triple-diffusive convection in a layer of nanofluid
On the onset of triple-diffusive convection in a horizontal layer of nanofluid heated from below and salted from above and below is studied both analytically and numerically. The effects of thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion parameters are also introduced through Buongiorno model in the governing equations. By using linear stability analysis based on perturbation theory and applying normal m...
