Transient Natural Convection Flow on an Isothermal Vertical Wall at High Prandtl Numbers: Second-Order Approximation
The method of matched asymptotic expansions, which has been used in previous studies of steady natural convection flow, is extended here to transient natural convection flow at high Prandtl number (Pr). Second-order expansion solutions, valid for large Prandtl numbers, are presented for the transient natural convection flow near a vertical surface which undergoes a step change in temperature. T...
متن کاملExperimental study of non-Boussinesq Rayleigh–Bénard convection at high Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers
A set of experiments is performed, in which a layer of fluid is heated from below and cooled from above, in order to study convection at high Rayleigh numbers ~Ra! and Prandtl numbers ~Pr!. The working fluid, corn syrup, has a viscosity that depends strongly on temperature. Viscosity within the fluid layer varies by a factor of 6 to 1.8310 in the various experiments. A total of 28 experiments a...
متن کاملRayleigh-Bénard convection with rotation at small Prandtl numbers.
We present experimental and theoretical results near the onset of the Rayleigh-Bénard convection with rotation about a vertical axis in a fluid with a Prandtl number sigma close to 0.18. In the experiment we used a H2-Xe gas mixture with a separation ratio Psi=0.22 and a Lewis number L=1.22 at various pressures and dimensionless rotation rates Omega up to 400. On the basis of a standard weakly ...
متن کاملNatural Convection at Different Prandtl Numbers in Rectangular Cavities with a Fin on the Cold Wall
The natural convection in differentially heated rectangular cavities with a fin attached to the cold wall was investigated numerically. The top and the bottom horizontal walls of the cavities were insulated while their left and the right vertical walls were maintained at a constant temperature Th and Tc, respectively with Th > Tc. The governing equations written in terms of the primitive variab...
متن کاملThermal convection for large Prandtl numbers.
The Rayleigh-Bénard theory by Grossmann and Lohse [J. Fluid Mech. 407, 27 (2000)] is extended towards very large Prandtl numbers Pr. The Nusselt number Nu is found here to be independent of Pr. However, for fixed Rayleigh numbers Ra a maximum in the Nu(Pr) dependence is predicted. We moreover offer the full functional dependences of Nu(Ra,Pr) and Re(Ra,Pr) within this extended theory, rather th...
