8. Applying these concepts to thermal phenomena

8.1 Rayleigh-Bénard instabilities

Since its origin , Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection has been a prime subject for the study of hydrodynamic (or aerodynamic) thermal instabilities. The standard experiment involves studying the behavior of a horizontal layer of fluid (usually a liquid), confined between two isothermal...
