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 ...

Available potential energy in Rayleigh-Bénard convection
The mechanical energy budget for thermally equilibrated Rayleigh–Bénard convection is developed theoretically, with explicit consideration of the role of available potential energy, this being the form in which all the mechanical energy for the flow is ...

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
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
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]
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 ...

Galerkin method for feedback controlled Rayleigh--Bénard convection [PDF]
We employ a Galerkin approximation for the system of equations governing Rayleigh-Bénard convection. This approximation reduces the dimension of the problem by one, while it captures the nonlinear behavior even when only a few basis functions are used ...
