Effect of Modulation on Rayleigh-Benard Convection-II
نویسنده
چکیده
The linear stability of a horizontal fluid layer, confined between two rigid walls, heated from below and cooled from above is considered. The temperature gradient between the walls consists of a steady part and a periodic part that oscillates with time. Only infinitesimal disturbances are considered. Numerical results for the critical Rayleigh number are obtained for various Prandtl numbers and for various values of the frequency. Some comparisons with known results have also been made.

متن کاملEffect of Modulation on Thermal Convection Instability
The linear stability problem for a fluid in a classic Benard configuration is considered. The applied temperature gradient is the sum of a steady component and a time-dependent periodic component. Only infinitesimal disturbances are considered. The time-dependent perturbation is expressed in Fourier series. The shift in critical Rayleigh number is calculated and the modulating effect of the osc...
