Onset 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 کاملOnset of convection in fluids with strongly temperature-dependent, power-law viscosity 2. Dependence on the initial perturbation
The onset of convection in the power-law creep regime on the silicate and icy planetary bodies requires a finite amplitude initial erturbation. This is a nonlinear problem and thus, both the amplitude and shape of the perturbation are important. We performed umerical simulations of the onset of convection in a two-dimensional layer with a fixed temperature contrast between the boundaries nd in ...
متن کاملPower-law behavior of power spectra in low Prandtl number Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
The origin of the power-law decay measured in the power spectra of low Prandtl number Rayleigh-Bénard convection near the onset of chaos is addressed using long time numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Boussinesq equations in cylindrical domains. The power law is found to arise from quasidiscontinuous changes in the slope of the time series of the heat transport associated with the n...
متن کاملPower-law exponents for the shear viscosity of non-Newtonian simple fluids.
Nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations are performed to compute the shear viscosities of a simple Lennard-Jones fluid across a wide range of densities and temperatures that span the liquid phase. It is found that the standard mode-coupling value of beta = 0.05 for the exponent of the strain rate power-law dependence (eta = eta0-eta1gammabeta) is only applicable in a very narrow region of...
متن کاملPower Law Model Adaptation to Fingering of Non-newtonian Fluids
The growth rate of fingers of a Newtonian fluid can be modeled by a power law dependence on time. In this experiment, we examine whether the model can be adapted to describe a fluid with changing viscosity. We provide two possible interpretations. For PVA and a PVA/glycerol solution, we show that by assuming a constant exponent, the changing behavior of the fluid can be captured by a coefficien...
