Investigation of convective structures near the stability threshold in liquids with non-uniform thermal conductivity

V. V. Kolmychkov, O. S. Mazhorova

Abstract: The paper numerically investigates stable convective structures in a fluid with thermal conductivity variyng with height or temperature. The main focus of the paper is an analysis of Prandtl number effect on the planform selection with different conductivity types.

Keywords: Rayleigh–Bénard convection, convective stability, non-Boussinesq fluid, numerical simulation, stable planforms, rolls, hexagons, Prandtl number, non-uniform thermal conductivity.
