Rayleigh-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 کاملPrandtl-, Rayleigh-, and Rossby-number dependence of heat transport in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Experimental and numerical data for the heat transfer as a function of the Rayleigh, Prandtl, and Rossby numbers in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection are presented. For relatively small Ra approximately 10(8) and large Pr modest rotation can enhance the heat transfer by up to 30%. At larger Ra there is less heat-transfer enhancement, and at small Pr less, similar 0.7 there is no hea...
متن کاملPrandtl number dependence of the viscous boundary layer and the Reynolds numbers in Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We report results from high Prandtl number turbulent thermal convection experiments. The viscous boundary layer and the Reynolds number are measured in four different fluids over wide ranges of the Prandtl number Pr and the Rayleigh number Ra, all in a single convection cell of unity aspect ratio. We find that the normalized viscous layer thickness may be represented as delta(v)/L=0.65Pr(0.24)R...
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 کاملExtensive chaos in Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Using large-scale numerical calculations we explore spatiotemporal chaos in Rayleigh-Bénard convection for experimentally relevant conditions. We calculate the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents and the Lyapunov dimension describing the chaotic dynamics of the convective fluid layer at constant thermal driving over a range of finite system sizes. Our results reveal that the dynamics of fluid convec...
