The problem of convection in a variable gravity field with magnetic field effect is studied using methods of linear instability theory and non-linear energy theory. Then, the accuracies of both the linear instability and global non-linear energy stability thresholds are tested using a three-dimensional simulation. The strong stabilizing effect of gravity field and magnetic field is shown. Moreover, the results support the assertion that the linear theory is very accurate in predicting the onset of convective motion, and thus regions of stability. 相似文献

A change in density during the solidification of alloys can be an important driving force for convection, especially at reduced levels of gravity. A model is presented that accounts for shrinkage during the directional solidification of dendritic binary alloys under the assumption that the densities of the liquid and solid phases are different but constant. This leads to a non‐homogeneous mass conservation equation, which is numerically treated in a finite element formulation with a variable penalty coefficient that can resolve the velocity field correctly in the all‐liquid region and in the mushy zone. The stability of the flow when shrinkage interacts with buoyancy flows at low gravity is examined. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The 3D periodic state, following the steady thermocapillary convection state, around an air bubble immersed in a low-Prandtl-number
silicone oil layer under a heated wall was experimentally investigated on the ground and during parabolic flights. This oscillation
was observed under reduced gravity conditions for the first time. Consequently, the initiation of this oscillation seems to
be independent of gravity and so of buoyancy convection. The reduced and increased gravity conditions showed that the gravity
level modifies the oscillation. Its frequency increases with the gravity level. The comparison with the results obtained on
the ground shows the bubble aspect ratio is not a relevant parameter when the gravity varies.

A non-autonomous complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) for the finite amplitude of convection is derived, and a method is presented here to determine the amplitude of this convection with a weakly nonlinear thermal instability for an oscillatory mode under throughflow and gravity modulation. Only infinitesimal disturbances are considered. The disturbances in velocity, temperature, and solutal fields are treated by a perturbation expansion in powers of the amplitude of the applied gravity field. Throughflow can stabilize or destabilize the system for stress free and isothermal boundary conditions. The Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained numerically to present the results of heat and mass transfer. It is found that throughflow and gravity modulation can be used alternately to heat and mass transfer. Further, oscillatory flow, rather than stationary flow, enhances heat and mass transfer. 相似文献

The linear stability theory is used to investigate analytically the effects of gravity modulation on solutal convection in the mushy layer of solidifying binary alloys. The gravitational field consists of a constant part and a sinusoidally varying part, which is synonymous to a vertically oscillating mushy layer subjected to constant gravity. The linear stability results are presented for both the synchronous and subharmonic solutions. It is demonstrated that up to the transition point between the synchronous and subharmonic regions, increasing the frequency of vibration rapidly stabilizes the solutal convection. Beyond the transition point, further increases in the frequency tend to destabilize the solutal convection, but gradually. It is also demonstrated that the effect of increasing the ratio of the Stefan number and the solid composition (0) is to destabilize the solutal convection. 相似文献

The linear stability theory is used to investigate analytically the effects of gravity modulation on convection in a homogenous porous layer heated from below. The gravitational field consists of a constant part and a sinusoidally varying part, which is tantamount to a vertically oscillating porous layer subjected to constant gravity. The linear stability results are presented for the specific case of low amplitude vibration for which it is shown that increasing the frequency of vibration stabilises the convection. 相似文献

A three-dimensional numerical simulation has been performed to study the growth of Ge0.98Si0.02 by the Traveling Solvent Method. We attempted to suppress the buoyancy convection, in the Ge0.98Si0.02 melt zone, by applying axial and rotating magnetic fields. The effects of the applied magnetic field intensity, on the transport structures in the melt (flow and concentration fields, heat and mass transfer), have been investigated in detail. The steady-state full Navier–Stokes equations, as well as energy, mass species transport and continuity equations are numerically solved using the finite element method. By applying an axial magnetic field of various intensities (2, 10, and 22 mT), we found that as the axial magnetic field increases, the silicon distribution nearby the growth interface becomes more uniform. In the case of a rotating magnetic field, with different applied rotational speeds (2, 7 and 10 rpm), we found that such kind of magnetic field has a marked effect on the silicon concentration, which changes its shape from a convex one to a nearly flat shape as the magnetic field intensity increases. An alternative method to reduce or suppress buoyancy convection, in the melt zone, is the growing of the sample in a microgravity environment, with a gravity level of at least 10?4 the earth normal gravity level; in this case the results revealed smooth and almost perfect straight concentration contours, due to the buoyancy convection weakness. 相似文献

This work examines the convective instability of a horizontal layer of magnetohydrodynamic fluid of variable permeability when subjected to a non-vertical magnetic field. We use a model proposed by P. H. Roberts [9] in the context of neutron stars but the results obtained are aso relevant to the area of ferromagnetic fluids. The presence of the variable permeability has no effect on the development of instabilities through the mechanism of stationary convection but influences the threshold of overstable convection which is often the preferred mechanism in non-terrestrial applications. In the context of ferromagnetic fluids, both stationary and overstable instability can be expected to be realisable possibilities. 相似文献

The aim of this paper is to show that the Jacobi–Davidson (JD) method is an accurate and robust method for solving large generalized algebraic eigenvalue problems with a singular second matrix. Such problems are routinely encountered in linear hydrodynamic stability analysis of flows that arise in various areas of continuum mechanics. As we use the Chebyshev collocation as a discretization method, the first matrix in the pencil is nonsymmetric, full rank, and ill‐conditioned. Because of the singularity of the second matrix, QZ and Arnoldi‐type algorithms may produce spurious eigenvalues. As a systematic remedy of this situation, we use two JD methods, corresponding to real and complex situations, to compute specific parts of the spectrum of the eigenvalue problems. Both methods overcome potentially severe problems associated with spurious unstable eigenvalues and are fairly stable with respect to the order of discretization. The real JD outperforms the shift‐and‐invert Arnoldi method with respect to the CPU time for large discretizations. Three specific flows are analyzed to advocate our statements, namely a multicomponent convection–diffusion in a porous medium, a thermal convection in a variable gravity field, and the so‐called Hadley flow.

A mixed FE-BE method for coupled vibration of gravity dam-reservoir system with variable water depth
To solve the coupled vibration of a gravity dam-reservoir system with variable water depth by using a hybrid element method,
the fluid region with variable water depth needs to be discretized by FE meshes. However, such a method asks for a great computational
cost owing to the excessive unknowns, especially when the fluid region with variable water depth is relatively large. To overcome
the shortcoming, a refined boundary element method is proposed to analyze the fluid field, in which only the discretization
for the boundary of the variable depth region is required. But as a basis of this approach, it is necessary to construct a
new Green's function corresponding to an infinite strip region. The problem is solved as the first step in this paper by employing
Fridman's operator function theory, and then a mixed FE-BE formulation for analyzing the free vibration of the gravity damreservoir
system is derived by means of the coupling conditions on the dam-reservoir interface. Finally, a numerical example is provided
to illustrate a great improvement of the method developed herein over the hybrid element method.

A convection problem in anisotropic and inhomogeneous porous media has been analyzed. In particular, the effect of variable permeability, thermal diffusivity, and variable gravity with respect to the vertical direction, has been studied. A linear and nonlinear stability analysis of the conduction solution has been performed. The validity of both the linear instability and global nonlinear energy stability thresholds are tested using a three- dimensional simulation. Our results show that the linear threshold accurately predicts on the onset of instability in the basic steady state. However, the required time to arrive at the basic steady state increases significantly as the Rayleigh number tends to the linear threshold. 相似文献

Stratified hydrostatic fluids have linear internal gravity waves with different phase speeds and vertical profiles. Here a
simplified set of partial differential equations (PDE) is derived to represent the nonlinear dynamics of waves with different
vertical profiles. The equations are derived by projecting the full nonlinear equations onto the vertical modes of two gravity
waves, and the resulting equations are thus referred to here as the two-mode shallow water equations (2MSWE). A key aspect
of the nonlinearities of the 2MSWE is that they allow for interactions between a background wind shear and propagating waves.
This is important in the tropical atmosphere where horizontally propagating gravity waves interact together with wind shear
and have source terms due to convection. It is shown here that the 2MSWE have nonlinear internal bore solutions, and the behavior
of the nonlinear waves is investigated for different background wind shears. When a background shear is included, there is
an asymmetry between the east- and westward propagating waves. This could be an important effect for the large-scale organization
of tropical convection, since the convection is often not isotropic but organized on large scales by waves. An idealized illustration
of this asymmetry is given for a background shear from the westerly wind burst phase of the Madden–Julian oscillation; the
potential for organized convection is increased to the west of the existing convection by the propagating nonlinear gravity
waves, which agrees qualitatively with actual observations. The ideas here should be useful for other physical applications
as well. Moreover, the 2MSWE have several interesting mathematical properties: they are a system of nonconservative PDE with
a conserved energy, they are conditionally hyperbolic, and they are neither genuinely nonlinear nor linearly degenerate over
all of state space. Theory and numerics are developed to illustrate these features, and these features are important in designing
the numerical scheme. A numerical method is designed with simplicity and minimal computational cost as the main design principles.
Numerical tests demonstrate that no catastrophic effects are introduced when hyperbolicity is lost, and the scheme can represent
propagating discontinuities without introducing spurious oscillations.

The influence of high-frequency horizontal vibrations on convection in the Hele-Shaw cell located in a uniform gravity field
is considered experimentally and theoretically. Nonlinear regimes of vibrational convection in the supercritical region are
examined. It is shown that horizontal vibrations (directed toward the wide sides of the cell) decrease the threshold of quasi-equilibrium
stability. Regions of existence of one- and two-vortex steady flows are found, and unsteady regular and random regimes of
thermal vibrational convection are considered. New random regimes in the Hele-Shaw cell are found, which result from nonlinear
interaction of the “lower” modes responsible for the formation of regular supercritical convective regimes.

Penetrative convection is investigated in a porous medium bounded above by the ocean bed and below by the interface of the
thawing permafrost ground. The thermal equation of state relating the density, temperature and salinity is assumed to be that
of ocean water as proposed by the UNESCO formula. Employing the Boussinesq approximated Darcy-flow equations with such a realistic
density formula in the buoyancy term, the problem of convective motion of brine is studied. Such convection flow is observed
off the coast of Alaska. The field variables in question are the brine-velocity field, the temperature and the salinity, although
we simplify the problem by imposing a temperature field that is linear in the depth variable. For this simplified system we
study the continuous dependence of the velocity and salinity on the initial data, develop a linear instability analysis and,
additionally, present a fully nonlinear three-dimensional stability analysis. This nonlinear analysis necessitates the introduction
of a generalised energy (or Lyapunov function) due to the extra terms present in the realistic equation of state. Numerical
results indicate that values of the critical Rayleigh numbers are smaller than when these extra terms are omitted.

The performance of the Galerkin finite element method when applied to time-dependent convection involving rotation, self-gravitation and the normal gravity field in a horizontal cylinder is discussed in this paper. The governing equations, the parameters of the problem and our implementation of the numerical schemes are presented. The accuracy, spatial scale of resolution, flexibility and robustness of the resulting code show the element method as a valuable tool for research in this area or in related problems in astrophysical fluid dynamics. The numerical difficulties in large-amplitude flows are associated with an error-control scheme for time integration and the ‘short-time’ wiggles in transient Dirichlet problems. Coarse grids give the correct qualitative picture in most simulations, but the type of solution at short time (and hence grid refinement) presumably resolves the degeneracy in the azimuthal orientation of convection cells in flows driven by self-gravitation and (perhaps) centrifugal buoyancy. The final state in transient flows is a motionless isothermal fluid. However, residual motions can be nullified only in the limit of zero grid size in flows driven by centrifugal buoyancy (self-gravitation), while a fairly coarse grid is sufficient for this purpose in normal gravity-driven flows. 相似文献

The effect of high-frequency translational vibrations on the occurrence of filtration convection in a plane horizontal layer
of a viscous incompressible liquid saturating a porous medium is studied. Constant temperature is maintained at the boundaries
of the layer. It is established that for any vibration direction different from the vertical (transverse) direction, convection
in gravity and thermal gravitational convection under both heating from above and heating from below can arise. In the case
of reduced gravity, values of the vibration parameter that lead to transition to zero gravity are established. The results
are obtained from an analysis of the averaged equations of filtration convection, derived for an arbitrary region.
