Heating or cooling a stable compositional gradient from the side

摘要: Abstract When fluid with a vertical compositional gradient is heated from the side, resultant motion consists of series layers which propagate away wall. The are due to fact that parcels at wall rise in decreasing ambient density limits their ascent. size these as function imposed Rayleigh number has been previously determined for salinity gradient. present work examines effect changes Prandtl and Lewis numbers by evaluating layer sizes cases heating sucrose or glycerine cooling crystallizing sodium carbonate In all we find representation appropriate salt holds other cases.
