Transient oscillations in Soret-driven convection in a colloidal suspension.
We present measurements of the transient stage of Soret-driven convective instability. The sample is a diluted colloidal suspension of silica spheres in water with an unusually large negative Soret coefficient S(T). A large temperature gradient (heating from above) is rapidly applied over the sample, while a shadowgraph imaging technique provides images of the convective flow. From the processi...
متن کاملThermal convection in colloidal suspensions with negative separation ratio.
Thermal convection in colloidal suspensions of nanosized particles is investigated. Representative examples for such materials are ferrofluids, but since we do not imply any external magnetic field, the description applies to nonmagnetic suspensions as well. With the grain size being large on molecular length scales, the particle mobility is extremely small, allowing to disregard the concentrat...
متن کاملInclined layer convection in a colloidal suspension with negative Soret coefficient at large solutal Rayleigh numbers.
Convection in an inclined layer of fluid is affected by the presence of a component of the acceleration of gravity perpendicular to the density gradient that drives the convective motion. In this work we investigate the solutal convection of a colloidal suspension characterized by a negative Soret coefficient. Convection is induced by heating the suspension from above, and at large solutal Rayl...
متن کاملScaling behavior for the onset of convection in a colloidal suspension.
We investigate the early stages of mass convection in a colloidal suspension at high solutal Rayleigh number Ras. From the time evolution of shadowgraph images and by assuming a diffusive growth of the boundary layers we obtain an indirect measurement of the concentration boundary layer thickness delta* at the onset of convection. We show that the dimensionless boundary layer thickness delta=de...
متن کاملConvection patterns in colloidal solutions.
We investigate the bifurcation properties and pattern selection in Rayleigh-Bénard convecting binary mixtures for parameter combinations that are typical for colloidal fluids using the Galerkin method. In such fluids the typical Lewis numbers and separation ratios differ by orders of magnitude from the values found in molecular mixtures like alcohol/water. We study stationary rolls, square and ...
