The Rayleigh—Bénard Shallow Thermal Convection Problem

  • Chapter

  • 1717 Accesses

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics and its Applications ((FMIA,volume 90))

It is usual in the literature (see, for instance, the book by Drazin and Reid [1]) to denote as Rayleigh—Bénard (RB) shallow thermal convection, the instability problem produced mainly by buoyancy, possibly including the Marangoni and Biot effects in a non-deformable free surface.
