FREE CONVECTION FLOW IN LATERALLY BOUNDED FLUID LAYERS
Resumo
Convection flow of the cellular type has been investigated in boxes of different shape. The critical Rayleigh numbers
were determined as a function of the dimensions of the box. In the case of supercritical heating, decay Rayleigh numbers
of the transition process from two to three dimensional cell types were specified. A distinct influence of the side walls
with different thermal conductivities could be observed.
