Numerical Simulation of Oscillatory Convection on Low-Pr Fluids

Part of the book series: Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics (NNFM) ((NNFM,volume 27))

Abstract

Our contribution to the GAMM WORKSHOP is limited to the case A: Rigid-Rigid shallow rectangular cavity (of aspect ratio A=4) filled with low-Prandtl-number fluid (Pr=0) and submitted to a horizontal temperature gradient. Additionnal computations were carried out in order to determine the Grashof number value corresponding to the onset of instabilities (transition from steady state to oscillatory state) and to point out the hysterisis phenomenon examined by Pulicani et al. [1].
