چکیده
An Analytical Study of Weakly Nonlinear Convection in a Horizontal Mushy Layer Prof. Dr. P. K. Srimani R & D Director (DSI), Former Chairman, B.U. Bangalore, Karnataka, INDIA Mr. R. Parthasarathi Prof. and HOD, Dept. Mathematics, Jain University – CMS, Bangalore, Karnataka, INDIA _______________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The present analytical study deals with the problem of weakly nonlinear convective instability in a horizontal mushy layer under suitable assumptions and approximations. By applying a modified perturbation technique, the basic state solutions, solutions to the first and the second orders are determined. The influence of the governing parameters on the profiles of total Rayleigh number, velocity and local solid-fraction are studied. The computations are done for a feasible set of values of the parameters. An excellent correlation is obtained between the present and the available results for the limiting cases.

Weakly-nonlinear Analysis of Convection in a Mushy Layer during the Solidiication of Binary Alloys
We consider the solidi cation of a binary alloy in a mushy layer and analyse the system near the onset of buoyancy-driven convection in the layer. We employ a near-eutectic approximation and consider the limit of large fareld temperature. These asymptotic limits allow us to examine the rich dynamics of the mushy layer in the form of small deviations from the classical case of convection in a ho...

متن کاملNonlinear oscillatory convection in mushy layers
We study the problem of nonlinear development of oscillatory convective instability in a two-dimensional mushy layer during solidification of a binary mixture. We adopt the near-eutectic limit, making the problem analytically tractable using standard perturbation techniques. We consider also a distinguished limit of large Stefan number, which allows a destabilization of the system to an oscilla...
