Analytical Modeling of Random Thermal Fluctuations in the NORDA High- Frequency Sound Scattering Facility

摘要: Abstract : An analytical study is presented of the laminar and turbulent flow fields that result from natural convection created by cooled or heated arrays tubular elements immersed in water. The concerned particular with methods used to create turbulence NORDA high-frequency sound scattering facility many numerical results are given pertain application. report discusses initially thermal plume rises a line source heat water, instability this plume, eventual form plume-plume interactions, swaying plumes. appendix gives chronological bibliography works on convention may be pertinent understanding flows situations analogous facility. Key topics include buoyance, transfer, boundary layers, instability.
