Abstract

The influence of external seismic actions on the convective flows in a Hele-Shaw cell heated from below is investigated theoretically. The temperature and velocity fields and the patterns of flows are calculated in the cases of the detection of vertical and horizontal seismic signals. The results of the calculations will be used in the design of an instrument for detecting microaccelerations of seismic origin. The working fluid is chosen and the optimum geometric parameters of the cavity of the convection sensor are determined using numerical simulation.
