Wind reversals in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
The phenomenon of irregular cessation and subsequent reversal of the large-scale circulation in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection is theoretically analyzed. The force and thermal balance on a single plume detached from the thermal boundary layer yields a set of coupled nonlinear equations, whose dynamics is related to the Lorenz equations. For Prandtl and Rayleigh numbers in the range 10(-2)...
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 کاملInfinite Prandtl Number Limit of Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
We rigorously justify the infinite Prandtl number model of convection as the limit of the Boussinesq approximation to the Rayleigh-Bénard convection as the Prandtl number approaches infinity. This is a singular limit problem involving an initial layer.
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 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...
