Boundary layer interaction in plume-based variable-viscosity thermal convection
Résumé : Nous avons mesuré la fréquence de formation de panaches dans une expérience de convection thermique à Pr >>1. Comme la viscosité du fluide utilisé varie fortement avec la température, les couches limites chaude et froide ont différentes épaisseurs et viscosités. Ceci entraîne des fréquences différentes pour ces couches. Il semblerait qu’il y ait une interaction directe entre les couche...
متن کاملMultigrid iterative algorithm using pseudo-compressibility for three-dimensional mantle convection with strongly variable viscosity
A numerical algorithm for solving mantle convection problems with strongly variable viscosity is presented. Equations for conservation of mass and momentum for highly viscous and incompressible fluids are solved iteratively by a multigrid method in combination with pseudo-compressibility and local time stepping techniques. This algorithm is suitable for large-scale three-dimensional numerical s...
متن کاملThermal Convection in Europa’s Silicate Mantle
We perform numerical simulations in 3D spherical geometry to study the properties of convection in Europa’s silicate mantle using the finite-element code CitcomS including temperature-dependent viscosity. Our simulations show that thermal convection occurs if the reference viscosity is – PaS, rheological activation energy is 150-300 kJ/mol, and the viscosity contrast (due to temperature variati...
متن کاملFinite Amplitude Thermal Convection with Variable Gravity
Finite amplitude thermal convection is studied in a horizontal layer of infinite Prandtl number fluid with a variable gravity. For the present study, gravity is restricted to vary quadratically with respect to the vertical variable. A perturbation technique based on a small parameter, which is a measure of the ratio of the vertical to horizontal dimensions of the convective cells, is employed t...
متن کاملTransient Natural Convection in an Enclosure with Variable Thermal Expansion Coefficient and Nanofluid Properties
Transient natural convection is numerically investigated in an enclosure using variable thermal conductivity, viscosity, and the thermal expansion coefficient of Al2O3-water nanofluid. The study has been conducted for a wide range of Rayleigh numbers (103≤ Ra ≤ 106), concentrations of nanoparticles (0% ≤ ϕ ≤ 7%), the enclosure aspect ratio (AR =1), and temperature differences between the cold a...
