Wind reversals in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
The phenomenon of irregular cessation and subsequent reversal of the large-scale circulation in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection is theoretically analyzed. The force and thermal balance on a single plume detached from the thermal boundary layer yields a set of coupled nonlinear equations, whose dynamics is related to the Lorenz equations. For Prandtl and Rayleigh numbers in the range 10(-2)...
متن کاملHeat transport measurements in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We present experimental heat transport measurements of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection with rotation about a vertical axis. The fluid, water with a Prandtl number (sigma) of about 6, was confined in a cell with a square cross section of 7.3 x 7.3 cm2 and a height of 9.4 cm. Heat transport was measured for Rayleigh numbers 2 x 10(5)<Ra<5 x 10(8) and Taylor numbers 0<Ta<5 x 10(9). We show th...
متن کاملOscillating large-scale circulation in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We report on the dynamics and structure of the turbulent velocity field in a high-Rayleigh-number (Ra = 5.9 x 10(8))thermal convection cell with an aspect ratio of 4. Spectral density functions (measured with laser Doppler velocimetry) indicated the existence of a large-scale periodic component. The long-time mean flow field (measured with particle image velocimetry) revealed that the large-sca...
متن کاملLogarithmic temperature profiles in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We report results for the temperature profiles of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in the interior of a cylindrical sample of aspect ratio Γ≡D/L=0.50 (D and L are the diameter and height, respectively). Both in the classical and in the ultimate state of RBC we find that the temperature varies as A×ln(z/L)+B, where z is the distance from the bottom or top plate. In the classical state,...
متن کاملHeat-transport enhancement in rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We present new Nusselt-number (Nu) measurements for slowly rotating turbulent thermal convection in cylindrical samples with aspect ratio Γ=1.00 and provide a comprehensive correlation of all available data for that Γ. In the experiment compressed gasses (nitrogen and sulfur hexafluride) as well as the fluorocarbon C_{6}F_{14} (3M Fluorinert FC72) and isopropanol were used as the convecting flu...
