Critical effects in Rayleigh-Benard convection
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 The properties of the convection Rayleigh-Bénard phenomenon near its critical threshold of instability are shown to be closely related to those of a second order phase transition. A theory is developed in the framework of the Landau-Hopf hypothesis, and all its predictions are verified by experimental results. Tome 39 N° 7 JUILLET Classification Physics Abstracts 47 . 25Q

Investigation on Instability of Rayleigh-Benard Convection Using Lattice Boltzmann Method with a Modified Boundary Condition
In this study, the effects of Prandtl number on the primary and secondary instability of the Rayleigh-Benard convection problem has been investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. Two different cases as Pr=5.8 and 0.7 representing the fluid in liquid and gas conditions are examined. A body forces scheme of the lattice Boltzmann method was presented. Two types of boundary conditions in the...
متن کاملThe Effect of Variable Properties on Rayleigh-Benard Convection in an Enclosure Filled with Al2O3-EG-Water Nanofluid
In this paper, the natural convection heat transfer of Al2O3-EG-water nanofluid in a rectangular cavity which is heated from the bottom and is cooled from the top has been investigated numerically. The governing equations for a Newtonian fluid have been solved numerically with a finite volume approach using the SIMPLER algorithm. The main focus of the current study is on the effects of variable...
متن کاملRayleigh-Marangoni convection in a critical fluid: a tale of two crossovers.
We show that if we take a thin layer of fluid where surface tension effects are supposed to dominate and gradually bring the mean temperature of the layer closer and closer to the liquid vapor critical point, then first there is a crossover from Marangoni to Rayleigh-Benard convection and thence to a convection whose onset is determined by the Schwarzchild criterion.
متن کاملLinear and Nonlinear Pattern Selection in Rayleigh-Benard Stability Problems
A new algorithm is introduced to compute finite-amplitude states using primitive variables for Rayleigh-Benard convection on relatively coarse meshes. The algorithm is based on a finite-difference matrix-splitting approach that separates all physical and dimensional effects into one-dimensional subsets. The nonlinear pattern selection process for steady convection in an air-filled square cavity...
متن کاملIntroduced a Modified Set of Boundary Condition of Lattice Boltzmann Method Based on Bennett extension in Presence of Buoyancy Term Considering Variable Diffusion Coefficients
Various numerical boundary condition methods have been proposed to simulate various aspects of the no-slip wall condition using the Lattice Boltzmann Method. In this paper, a new boundary condition scheme is developed to model the no-slip wall condition in the presence of the body force term near the wall which is based on the Bennett extension. The error related to the new model is smaller tha...
