Nonlinear Marangoni convection in circular and elliptical cylinders
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spatial organization of single-fluid Marangoni convection in vertical cylinders with circular and elliptical horizontal cross-section is described. The convection is driven by an imposed heat flux from above and driven by Marangoni stresses at a free but undeformed surface due to temperature-dependent surface tension. The solutions and their stability characteristics are obtained using branch-following techniques together with direct numerical simulations. The changes in the observed patterns with increasing ellipticity are emphasized. In some cases the deformation of the cylinder results in the presence of oscillations.

New Method for Large Deflection Analysis of an Elliptic Plate Weakened by an Eccentric Circular Hole
The bending analysis of moderately thick elliptic plates weakened by an eccentric circular hole has been investigated in this article. The nonlinear governing equations have been presented by considering the von-Karman assumptions and the first-order shear deformation theory in cylindrical coordinates system. Semi-analytical polynomial method (SAPM) which had been presented by the author before...
متن کاملIntroductory analysis of the Bénard-Marangoni convection
We describe experiments on Bénard-Marangoni convection which permit an useful understanding on the main concepts involved in this phenomenon as, for example, Bénard cells, aspect ratio, Rayleigh and Marangoni numbers, crispation number and critical conditions. In spite of the complexity of the convection theory, this work carries out a simple and introductory analysis of it which has the additi...
متن کاملNumerical investigation on the effects of six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular configurations on fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder
The present work deals with heat transfer characteristics as well as fluid flow patterns in laminar flow regime for a circular cylinder with six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular geometries. The computations have been carried out by a finite volume approach using the overset grid method. The unsteady flow at Re= 200 and Pr= 0.7 and 7.0 was examined. The effect of the control rods ...
متن کاملNonpotential Effects in Nonlinear Dynamics of Marangoni convection
Nonpotential effects in nonlinear evolution of Marangoni convection patterns are investigated analytically and numerically. Three manifestations of nonpotential effects are considered: (i) spatial modulations of hexagonal patterns; (ii) interaction between a short-scale hexagonal pattern and a long-scale slow deformational (Goldstone) mode; (iii) generation of the mean flow by the free-surface ...
متن کاملRayleigh-Marangoni convection in a critical fluid: a tale of two crossovers.
We show that if we take a thin layer of fluid where surface tension effects are supposed to dominate and gradually bring the mean temperature of the layer closer and closer to the liquid vapor critical point, then first there is a crossover from Marangoni to Rayleigh-Benard convection and thence to a convection whose onset is determined by the Schwarzchild criterion.
