Convective Instabilities in Fully Developed Flows.

Mark Steven Sherman

Expert InsightsPublished 1966

A consideration of the possibility of inducing a convective secondary flow in the fully developed channel flow of a quasi-incompressible (Boussinesq) fluid. Instabilities of this type occur only when the temperature gradient in the direction of the body force exceeds a certain critical value. This temperature gradient is proportional to the Rayleigh number of the fluid. 12 pp. (Author)
