Soret driven convection in a colloidal solution heated from above at very large solutal Rayleigh number.
Convection in a colloidal suspension with a large negative separation ratio psi is studied experimentally by heating from above. Shadowgraph observations at very large solutal Rayleigh numbers Rtilde; are reported as a function of time. Fast relaxation oscillations are reported for the root mean square value of the shadowgraph intensity. While pure fluids exhibit a transition to turbulent conve...
متن کاملInclined layer convection in a colloidal suspension with negative Soret coefficient at large solutal Rayleigh numbers.
Convection in an inclined layer of fluid is affected by the presence of a component of the acceleration of gravity perpendicular to the density gradient that drives the convective motion. In this work we investigate the solutal convection of a colloidal suspension characterized by a negative Soret coefficient. Convection is induced by heating the suspension from above, and at large solutal Rayl...
متن کاملTransient oscillations in Soret-driven convection in a colloidal suspension.
We present measurements of the transient stage of Soret-driven convective instability. The sample is a diluted colloidal suspension of silica spheres in water with an unusually large negative Soret coefficient S(T). A large temperature gradient (heating from above) is rapidly applied over the sample, while a shadowgraph imaging technique provides images of the convective flow. From the processi...
متن کاملTransient Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni solutal convection
Solutal driven flow is studied for a binary solution submitted to solvent evaporation at the upper free surface. Evaporation induces an increase in the solute concentration close to the free surface and solutal gradients may induce a convective flow driven by buoyancy and/or surface tension. This problem is studied numerically, using several assumptions deduced from previous experiments on poly...
متن کاملCooling by Free Convection at High Rayleigh Number of Cylinders Positioned Above a Plane
Free convection cooling of isothermal circular cylinders positioned above a horizontal plane is investigated numerically, using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software package. Computation is performed for high Rayleigh number, in the range 10 − 10. Chien’s turbulence model of low-Reynolds-number K-ε is used, with Prandtl number of 0.707, corresponding to air near standard cond...
