Turbulent convection with time-dependent forcing
A new technique is used to explore the structure of turbulent convecting flows. A sinusoidal temperature perturbation is superimposed on the bottom plate of a cylindrical convection cell filled with cryogenic helium gas and its decay is measured at the cell mid-height. The measurements allow the first dynamic estimate of the core part of the flow which conducts fluid effectively without any the...
متن کاملTurbulent Compressible Convection with Rotation - Penetration above a Convection Zone
We perform Large eddy simulations of turbulent compressible convection in stellar-type convection zones by solving the Naviér-Stokes equations in three dimensions. We estimate the extent of penetration into the stable layer above a stellar-type convection zone by varying the rotation rate (Ω), the inclination of the rotation vector (θ) and the relative stability (S) of the upper stable layer Th...
متن کاملTrends Turbulent convection
Convection in a fluid heated from below, known as Rayleigh-Bénard convection, is an important turbulent process that occurs in the sun, planetary atmospheres, industrial manufacturing, and many other places. Physicists and engineers have made much progress in understanding this phenomenon in simple laboratory geometries, but still have a way to go before they are able to extrapolate to the extr...
متن کاملTurbulent Thermal Convection with an Obstructed Sidewall
We present an experimental study of turbulent convection in a cell with staggered fingers on its sidewall using water as the convecting fluid. Our measurements reveal that Nu , Ra20.27, and that the temperature probability density function (PDF) at the cell center is a double-peaked function which can be fitted by the superposition of two Gaussians. Moreover, it is found that the size of the lo...
متن کاملHorizontal convection is non - turbulent
Consider the problem of horizontal convection: a Boussinesq fluid, forced by applying a non-uniform temperature at its top surface, with all other boundaries insulating. We prove that if the viscosity, ν, and thermal diffusivity, κ, are lowered to zero, with σ ≡ ν/κ fixed, then the energy dissipation per unit mass, ε, also vanishes in this limit. Numerical solutions of the two-dimensional case ...
