Phase-winding solutions in a finite container above the convective threshold

چکیده
An analysis is presented of the steady states of two-dimensional convection near threshold in a laterally finite container with aspect ratio 2L 9 1. It is shown that the allowed wavevectors which can occur in the bulk of the container are reduced from a band Jqj [(R--Ro)/R,li in the laterally infinite system to a band 1q1 (R-R,)/R, in a system with sidewalls (R is the Rayleigh number and R, its critical value in the infinite system). The analysis involves an expansion of the hydrodynamic equations in the small parameter [(R RO)/RO]i , and leads to amplitude equations with boundary conditions, which generalize to higher order those previously obtained by Newel1 & Whitehead and Segel. The precise values of the allowed wavevectors depend on the Prandtl number of the fluid and the thermal properties of the sidewalls. For certain values of these parameters all the allowed wavevectors are less than the critical value q,. The applicability of the results to convection in a rectangular container is briefly discussed.

متن کاملStudy on Fundamental Frequencies of Cylindrical Storage Tanks Obtained from Codes and Finite Element Method
In the case of study on the seismic behavior of tanks, one of the most important subjects is selection of convective and impulsive frequencies for storage tanks. These two frequencies are defined by Housner. The major utility of these frequencies is for Rayleigh damping which is a must for time history analysis. API 650, EUROCODE 8 have suggested some analytical solutions for finding convective...
متن کاملPower Auto-transformer Mechanical Faults Diagnosis Using Finite Element based FRA
Frequency response analysis (FRA) is a sensitive method established for testing the mechanical integrity of transformers. However, interpretation of FRA signature still needs expert opinions and there is no FRA interpretation code generally accepted. Various mechanical faults with different extents on power transformers are required to aid FRA interpretation. To address this challenge, in...
متن کاملTransition to turbulence of convective flows in a cylindrical container
2014 The threshold of the transition to turbulence of low Prandtl number convective flows occurs much closer to the convective threshold in an extended cylindrical cell, than one could infer from a straight roll stability analysis. Convection then involves non local effects together with a closure of the spatial scales. We solve these problems by constructing an explicit analytical solution of ...
