Thermoelectric convection in a planar capacitor: theoretical studies and experiments in parabolic flights

Thermoelectric convection in a plane capacitor is investigated microgravity environment and the case of thermal stable unstable stratification terrestrial conditions. Energetic analysis shows that stratification, thermoelectric delayed while it enhanced by Archimedean buoyancy before latter takes over dielectrophoretic drives natural convection. An experiment parabolic flights formation at end phase.
