Rayleigh number dependence of the Archimedes number dependent large-scale flow structure formation in mixed convection

We report on experimental investigations of large-scale flow structure formation in mixed convection. We characterize the flow field by measuring the velocity fields within a rectangular model room using 2D2C PIV. The control parameters are the Reynolds number Re, the Rayleigh number Ra and the Prandtl number Pr. All parameters are linked...

DNS of natural convection in liquid metal with srtong magnetic field in retangular box

Direct numerical simulations of natural convection in liquid metal within rectangular box heated uniformly from below with uniform strong vertical magnetic field are conducted. The main aim is to explore the possibilities and mechanisms of convection instabilities in such flows. The effects of parameter range on the flow structure, i.e....
