The Character of Entropy Production in Rayleigh–Bénard Convection

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
In this study; the Rayleigh–Bénard convection model was established; and a great number of Bénard cells with different numbered vortexes were acquired by numerical simulation.

Natural convective heat transfer characteristics of Rayleigh-Benard convection of Al2O3-water nanofluids

open access: yesJournal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2017
Transient three-dimensional numerical computations are implemented to clarify the natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the Rayleigh-Benard convection of Al2O3-water nanofluids induced in a shallow vertical cylindrical enclosure.

Three-dimensional numerical simulations on Poiseuille-Rayleigh-Bénard convection of air in a horizontal rectangular channel

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2023
In order to reveal the combined influences of Rayleigh (Ra) number, Reynolds (Re) number and spanwise aspect ratio (B) on the flow pattern evolution and stability, and heat transfer of Poiseuille-Rayleigh-Bénard (PRB) convection, we presented a set of ...

Effects of Controller and Nonuniform Temperature Profile on the Onset of Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni Electroconvection in a Micropolar Fluid

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2014
Linear stability analysis is performed to study the effects of nonuniform basic temperature gradients on the onset of Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni electroconvection in a dielectric Eringen’s micropolar fluid by using the Galerkin technique.

Numerical analysis of Poiseuille-Rayleigh-Bénard convection in supercritical carbon dioxide

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022
The supercritical carbon dioxide (S–CO2) Brayton cycle is an important energy conversion technology for the fourth generation of nuclear energy. Since the printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) used in the S–CO2 Brayton cycle has narrow channels, Rayleigh-

Hexagonal Cell Formation in Darcy–Bénard Convection with Viscous Dissipation and Form Drag

open access: yesFluids, 2017
Recent interest in the effects of viscous dissipation on convective flows in porous media has centred almost exclusively on forced convection flows. In this paper, we investigate the manner in which it affects the onset and early stages of convection in ...

Adapting a Fourier pseudospectral method to Dirichlet boundary conditions for Rayleigh-Bénard convection [PDF]

open access: yesPapers in Physics, 2015
We present the adaptation to non-free boundary conditions of a pseudospectral method based on the (complex) Fourier transform. The method is applied to the numerical integration of the Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations in a Rayleigh-Bénard cell with no-slip ...

Horizontal Cellular Oscillations Caused by Time-Periodic Resonant Thermal Forcing in Weakly Nonlinear Darcy-Bénard Convection

open access: yesFluids, 2017
The onset of Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a horizontally unbounded saturated porous medium is considered. Particular attention is given to the stability of weakly nonlinear convection between two plane horizontal surfaces heated from below.
