Bifurcation and numerical study in an EHD convection problem.
We have explored the combined long-wave Marangoni and Rayleigh instability of the quiescent state of a binary- liquid layer heated from below or from above in the presence of the Soret effect. We found that in the case of small Biot numbers there are two long- wave regions of interest k ~ Bi1/2 and k ~ Bi1/4. The dependence of both monotonic and oscillatory thresholds of instability in these regions on both the Soret and dynamic Bond numbers has been investigated. The complete linear stability...
Marangoni convection caused by a photochemical reaction of the type A B in a deep liquid layer is studied. Linear stability analysis is performed and the conditions for Marangoni convection to occur are obtained. It is shown that increasing the rate of the direct reaction, for example, by increasing the light intensity, destabilizes the steady state and causes convective motion of the fluid, whereas increasing the rate of the inverse reaction stabilizes the steady state. A weakly nonlinear analysis...
Si considera l'insorgere della convezione naturale in un mezzo poroso (Horton-Rogers-Lapwood problem), assumendo che la viscosità del fluido dipenda dalla temperatura. Adoperando il metodo diretto di Liapunov, si effettua l'analisi della stabilitá non lineare della soluzione di conduzione per i modelli di Darcy e di Forchheimer.
