Bifurcations and chaos in single-roll natural convection with low Prandtl number
Convective flows of a small Prandtl number fluid contained in a two-dimensional cavity subject to a lateral thermal gradient are numerically studied by using different techniques. The aspect ratio length to height is kept at around 2. This value is found optimal to make the flow most unstable while keeping the basic single-roll structure. Two cases of thermal boundary conditions on the horizont...
متن کاملBifurcation of Infinite Prandtl Number Rotating Convection
We consider infinite Prandtl number convection with rotation which is the basic model in geophysical fluid dynamics. For the rotation free case, the rigorous analysis has been provided by Park [15, 16, 17] under various boundary conditions. By thoroughly investigating We prove in this paper that the solutions bifurcate from the trivial solution u = 0 to an attractor ΣR which consists of only on...
متن کاملOnset of zero Prandtl number convection
The transition to convection in a zero Prandtl number fluid with stress-free and perfectly conducting boundaries differs significantly from finite Prandtl number convection, giving rise to a three-dimensional pattern. Two possible scenarios are described and compared with recent numerical simulations by Thual Ii]. The Prandtl number of a fluid can approach zero in one of two ways either because...
متن کاملWavy stripes and squares in zero-Prandtl-number convection.
A simple model to explain the numerically observed behavior of chaotically varying stripes and square patterns in zero-Prandtl-number convection in Boussinesq fluid is presented. The nonlinear interaction of mutually perpendicular sets of wavy rolls, via higher-order modes, may lead to a competition between the two sets of rolls. The appearance of square patterns is due to a secondary forward b...
متن کاملThermal convection for large Prandtl numbers.
The Rayleigh-Bénard theory by Grossmann and Lohse [J. Fluid Mech. 407, 27 (2000)] is extended towards very large Prandtl numbers Pr. The Nusselt number Nu is found here to be independent of Pr. However, for fixed Rayleigh numbers Ra a maximum in the Nu(Pr) dependence is predicted. We moreover offer the full functional dependences of Nu(Ra,Pr) and Re(Ra,Pr) within this extended theory, rather th...
