Thermal Diffusion and Convective Stability. II. An Analysis of the Convected Fluxes

The Physics of Fluids, 1972
The stability of a horizontal, two-component fluid layer subjected to a positive vertical temperature gradient (heating from above) is investigated taking advantage of the fact that the time scales for thermal relaxation and concentration relaxation are widely separated.

Thermal nonlinear oscillator in mixed convection

Physical Review E, 2011
A detailed numerical simulation is carried out for transient laminar flow opposing mixed convection in a downward vertical channel flow with both walls suddenly subjected to isothermal heat sources over a finite portion of the channel walls, by solving the unsteady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The dynamical behavior of the system

PCR BY THERMAL CONVECTION

Modern Physics Letters B, 2004
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) allows for highly sensitive and specific amplification of DNA. It is the backbone of many genetic experiments and tests. Recently, three labs independently uncovered a novel and simple way to perform a PCR reaction.

Halokinesis and thermal convection

Nature, 1978
THEORETICAL, numerical and experimental studies1–3 have successfully modelled realistic analogues of natural salt domes which have risen from deep source layers through formerly superincumbent layers of rock, by a process known as halokinesis. In such studies the deformation has been approximated to the gravitational stabilisation of Rayleigh-Taylor ...

Turbulent Thermal Convection

1992
Thermal convection has been the subject of extensive research for more than a century due to its fundamental role in geophysical, astrophysical and engineering applications. Recent experiments by the Chicago group (Heslog et al 1, and Casting et al 2) have shown that at high Rayleigh numbers (Ra) the flow undergoes a transition in its structure from ...

An example of thermal convection

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1950
The first few terms of a series development of the Sandström model of thermal circulation are presented. The solution is convergent only under special conditions .

Turbulent Thermal Convection

2015
Turbulent thermal convection is a phenomenon of crucial importance in understanding the heat transport and dynamics of several natural and engineering flows. Real world systems such as the Earth’s atmosphere—its oceans as well as the interior—and the interior of stars such as the Sun, are all affected to various degrees by thermal convection.

Thermal Convection with LTNE

2015
The object of this chapter is to present the equations of thermal convection with local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) effects and analyse stability properties of their solutions. The linear operator which arises in the LTNE equations often belongs to a special class of operators, known as symmetric operators, and this class of linear operator has ...

Resonance in Thermal Convection

2015
Resonance in thermal convection has many applications since interactions between the fluid layers may greatly increase the critical Rayleigh number threshold for the onset of convection, which in turn is of interest to the energy industry. In particular, with modern heat transfer devices being increasingly employed on a microscale there is much need to
