Stretching the boundaries in turbulent convection
Laboratory experiments investigating turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection (RBC) have nearly always been confined to cylindrical cells of small diameter-to-height aspect ratio Γ (typically 1/2). The motivation for this has been that the governing control parameter, the Rayleigh Number Ra, depends on the cube of the height, and so laboratory experiments have been made as tall as possible, which f...
متن کاملStretching and setting boundaries
This month's installment of Generally Physiological considers a channel in skeletal muscle and a cardiac G pro-tein–coupled receptor (GPCR) that are sensitive to mechanical stress as well as their respective ligands, and how the geometry of subcellular domains influences GPCR dynamics. Stretching the boundaries of nAChR gating Although ion channels are often broadly classified as " voltage-gate...
متن کاملMultiscale SOC in turbulent convection
Using data obtained in a laboratory thermal convection experiment at high Rayleigh numbers, it is shown that the multiscaling properties of the observed mean wind reversals are quantitatively consistent with analogous multiscaling properties of the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld prototype model of self-organized criticality in two dimensions.
متن کاملVariational Bounds in Turbulent Convection
When sufficient energy is steadily supplied to a fluid, the ensuing dynamical behavior involves many spatial and temporal scales and energy is dissipated efficiently. For instance when sufficiently strong heat is supplied against the pull of gravity to a fluid, the heat flux due to fluid flow convection exceeds the heat flux due to molecular diffusion. The average of heat flux is quantified in ...
متن کاملHysteresis phenomenon in turbulent convection
Coherent large-scale circulations of turbulent thermal convection in air have been studied experimentally in a rectangular box heated from below and cooled from above using Particle Image Velocimetry. The hysteresis phenomenon in turbulent convectionwas found by varying the temperature difference between the bottom and the top walls of the chamber (the Rayleigh number was changed within the ran...
