CONVECTION INDUCED BY INCLINED THERMAL AND SOLUTAL GRADIENTS IN A SHALLOW HORIZONTAL LAYER
摘要
An examination is made of convection,
induced by applied thermal and solutal
gradients inclined to the vertical, in a shallow
horizontal layer. The horizontal component of
these gradients induces a Hadley circulation,
which becomes unstable when the vertical
components are sufficiently large. A linear
stability analysis is carried out, for the case
of rigid conducting horizontal boundaries, in
terms of horizontal and vertical thermal
Rayleigh numbers, RH and RV, respectively, and the solutal equivalents. The differential equation system is solved using a direct
Galerkin approximation.
