The small magnetic Prandtl number approximation suppresses magnetorotational instability
Axisymmetric stability of viscous resistive magnetized Couette flow is re-examined, with emphasis on flows that would be hydrodynamically stable according Rayleigh’s criterion: opposing gradients of angular velocity and specific angular momentum. In this regime, magnetorotational instability (MRI) may occur. The governing system in cylindrical coordinates is of tenth order. It is proved, by met...
متن کاملBound on vertical heat transport at large Prandtl number
We prove a new upper bound on the vertical heat transport in Rayleigh-Bénard convection of the form c Ra 1 3 (lnRa) 2 3 under the assumption that the ratio of Prandtl number over Rayleigh number satisfies Pr Ra ≥ c0 where the non-dimensional constant c0 depends on the aspect ratio of the domain only. This new rigorous bound agrees with the (optimal) Ra 1 3 bound (modulo logarithmic correction) ...
متن کاملThe effect of various conductivity and viscosity models considering Brownian motion on nanofluids mixed convection flow and heat transfer
In this paper the effect of using various models for conductivity and viscosity considering Brownian motion of nanoparticles is investigated. This study is numerically conducted inside a cavity full of Water-Al2O3 nanofluid at the case of mixed convection heat transfer. The effect of some parameters such as the nanoparticle volume fraction, Rayleigh, Richardson and Reynolds numbers has been ex...
متن کاملWell-posedness of the Infinite Prandtl Number Model for Convection with Temperature-Dependent Viscosity
We establish the well-posedness of the infinite Prandtl number model for convection with temperature-dependent viscosity, free-slip boundary condition and zero horizontal fluxes.
متن کاملPrandtl number effects on mixing in Kelvin-Helmholtz billows
We use DNS to study the effect of Prandtl number on mixing in weakly density stratified Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) billows at low to moderate Reynolds numbers. The time evolution of the density field of the flow and the mixing are significantly influenced by the Prandtl number. By increasing the Prandtl number, the final amount of mixing increases for Reynolds that are too low to sustain three-dimen...
