Multifractal nature of plume structure in high Rayleigh number convection
The geometrically different plan forms of near wall plume structure in turbulent natural convection, visualised by driving the convection using concentration differences across a membrane, are shown to have a common multifractal spectrum of singularities for Rayleigh numbers in the range 10 − 10 at Schmidt number of 602. The scaling is seen for a length scale range of 2 and is independent of th...

متن کاملHigh Rayleigh number convection in a three-dimensional porous medium
High-resolution numerical simulations of statistically steady convection in a threedimensional porous medium are presented for Rayleigh numbers Ra 6 2 × 104. Measurements of the Nusselt number Nu in the range 1750 6 Ra 6 2× 104 are well fitted by a relationship of the form Nu= α3Ra+ β3, for α3= 9.6× 10−3 and β3= 4.6. This fit indicates that the classical linear scaling Nu∼ Ra is attained, and t...
متن کاملPlume fragmentation by bulk interactions in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Using compressed gases with Prandtl numbers near 0.7, we obtained flow visualizations of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical sample with an aspect ratio Γ≡D/L≅10 (D is the diameter and L the height) by the shadowgraph method. Focusing on the plumes under the top plate, we found that their length had a log-normal distribution, suggesting a fragmentation process. Fragmentation e...
متن کاملHigh Rayleigh number convection and passive scalar mixing
A brief review is given of recent laboratory investigations of high Ra convection and their relation to other turbulent flows. For a passive scalar we summarize an emerging body of theory for the one point distribution function and inertial range correlation functions which display non-Kolmogorov exponents. Low R a number convection has long been the system of choice for investigating the onset...
