Abstract:We use direct numerical simulation (DNS) to explore the effect of tilt on two-dimensional turbulent thermal convection on a half-soap bubble that is heated at its equator. In the DNS, the bubble is tilted by an angle δ ∈ [0 • , 90 • ], the Rayleigh number is varied between Ra ∈ [3 × 10 6 , 3 × 10 9 ], and the Prandlt number is fixed at Pr = 7. The DNS reveals two qualitatively different flow regimes: the dynamic plume regime (DPR) and the stable plume regime (SPR). In the DPR, small dynamic plumes constantly e… Show more
