COMBINED NATURAL AND FORCED CONVECTION BETWEEN PARALLEL WALLS: DEVELOPING FLOW AT HIGHER RAYLEIGH NUMBERS.

Author(s) : BECKETT P. M., FRIEND I. E.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE WELL-KNOWN, FOURTH-ORDER, ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION, GOVERNING VERTICAL FULLY DEVELOPED CONVECTION BETWEEN PARALLEL VERTICAL WALLS, IS DISCUSSED IN THE LIGHT OF NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS AND PERTURBATION EXPANSIONS IN TERMS OF THE ECKERT NUMBER. THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS IS REAFFIRMED AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THE VARIOUS SOLUTIONS GROW AND MERGE INTO EACH OTHER WITH INCREASING RAYLEIGH NUMBER IS ESTABLISHED. UNDERSTANDING OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE SOLUTIONS IS AIDED BY THE STUDY OF A SECOND-ORDER ANHARMONIC OSCILLATOR EQUATION.
