Rayleigh-Bénard convection in large-aspect-ratio domains.

The coarsening and wave number selection of striped states growing from random initial conditions are studied in a nonrelaxational, spatially extended, and far-from-equilibrium system by performing large-scale numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a large-aspect-ratio cylindrical domain with experimentally realistic boundaries. We find evidence that various measures of the coar...

Spiral defect chaos in large aspect ratio Rayleigh-Bénard convection.

We report experiments on convection patterns in a cylindrical cell with a large aspect ratio. The uid had a Prandtl number 1. We observed a chaotic pattern consisting of many rotating spirals and other defects in the parameter range where theory predicts that steady straight rolls should be stable. The correlation length of the pattern decreased rapidly with increasing control parameter so that...

Lyapunov exponents for small aspect ratio Rayleigh-Bénard convection.

Leading order Lyapunov exponents and their corresponding eigenvectors have been computed numerically for small aspect ratio, three-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection cells with no-slip boundary conditions. The parameters are the same as those used by Ahlers and Behringer [Phys. Rev. Lett. 40, 712 (1978)] and Gollub and Benson [J. Fluid Mech. 100, 449 (1980)] in their work on a periodic time...

A Numerical Study on Entropy Generation in Two-Dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard Convection at Different Prandtl Number

Entropy generation in two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection at different Prandtl number (Pr) are investigated in the present paper by using the lattice Boltzmann Method. The major concern of the present paper is to explore the effects of Pr on the detailed information of local distributions of entropy generation in virtue of frictional and heat transfer irreversibility and the overall entr...

Effect of aspect ratio on vortex distribution and heat transfer in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection.

Numerical and experimental data for the heat transfer as a function of the Rossby number Ro in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection are presented for the Prandtl number Pr=4.38 and the Rayleigh number Ra=2.91×10(8) up to Ra=4.52×10(9). The aspect ratio Γ≡D/L, where L is the height and D the diameter of the cylindrical sample, is varied between Γ=0.5 and 2.0. Without rotation, where the...
