Oscillating large-scale circulation in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We report on the dynamics and structure of the turbulent velocity field in a high-Rayleigh-number (Ra = 5.9 x 10(8))thermal convection cell with an aspect ratio of 4. Spectral density functions (measured with laser Doppler velocimetry) indicated the existence of a large-scale periodic component. The long-time mean flow field (measured with particle image velocimetry) revealed that the large-sca...
متن کاملLarge-scale circulation model for turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
A model for the large-scale-circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in cylindrical samples is presented. It consists of two physically motivated stochastic ordinary differential equations, one each for the strength and the azimuthal orientation of the LSC. Stochastic forces represent phenomenologically the influence of turbulent fluctuations. Consistent with measurements, the ...
متن کاملWind reversals in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
The phenomenon of irregular cessation and subsequent reversal of the large-scale circulation in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection is theoretically analyzed. The force and thermal balance on a single plume detached from the thermal boundary layer yields a set of coupled nonlinear equations, whose dynamics is related to the Lorenz equations. For Prandtl and Rayleigh numbers in the range 10(-2)...
متن کاملReorientation of the large-scale circulation in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We present measurements of the orientation theta0(t) of the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in cylindrical cells of aspect ratio 1. Theta0(t) undergoes irregular reorientations. It contains reorientation events by rotation through angles delta theta with a monotonically decreasing probability distribution p(delta theta), and by cessations (where the LSC sto...
متن کاملDynamics of large-scale quantities in Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
In this paper we estimate the relative strengths of various terms of the Rayleigh-Bénard equations. Based on these estimates and scaling analysis, we derive a general formula for the large-scale velocity U or the Péclet number that is applicable for arbitrary Rayleigh number Ra and Prandtl number Pr. Our formula fits reasonably well with the earlier simulation and experimental results. Our anal...
