Description

This title presents some basic topics within the area of time-dependent nonlinear convection. The first chapter gives an authoritative review of time-dependence related to instabilities in nonlinear Rayleigh-B?nard convection. Chapter 2 reviews the different convection cell patterns and focuses on their phase instabilities. Time-dependence in free-convection boundary layers and in porous media is discussed in Chapters 3 and 4. Chapter 5 is devoted to the transient layer formation caused by double-diffusive convection, while the final chapter discusses time-dependence in nonlinear convection driven by non-uniform surface tension at a free surface.

Table of Contents

  • Mechanisms of the onset of time-dependence in thermal convection
  • Universal instabilities of rolls, squares and hexagons
  • Unsteady free and mixed convection in external flows
  • Natural convection in a saturated porous cross section due to an unstably-heated side wall
  • Layer formation in double diffusive convection
  • Time-dependent Benard-Marangoni instablility and waves.
