Thermal Vibrational Convection in Rotating Cavities

Flow patterns in a rotating horizontal cylinder partially filled with liquid

“…This phenomenon is an effect of the enhanced action of the Coriolis force. A similar effect is well known in the problem of the onset of forced thermal convection [31,32] and thermal vibrational convection [33,34] in rotating cells.…”

Effect of rotation on the vibroconvective stability of a fluid layer with internal heat release

“…The problem of thermal convection in a layer under circularly polarized vibration is, in contrast to unidirectional vibration, symmetric. In a plane layer [4,7], the average effect of the rotating field resembles the effect of a uniform gravity field. In particular, the form of the perturbations degenerates: the boundary-value problem contains only the square of the wave vector and the relationship between its components remains arbitrary.…”

“…Assuming that h R, we will consider a region of the layer at a distance from the axis such that the effect of the centrifugal inertia force can be neglected, i.e. Ω Ω Ω 2 r R g. Then the vibrational thermal convection in the rotating cavity filled with internally heated fluid can be described by the following system of dimensionless equations [4]:…”

Convection and heat/mass transfer processes under space flight conditions

“…Moreover, this subject is still prompting the development of models and methods of hydromechanics. In recent years, papers published in Fluid Dynamics have been devoted to 3D convection effects, laboratory experiments and models of convection under rotational vibration, the modeling of convection in the near-critical state of the medium [23][24][25], etc. Most of the results presented below were obtained by the author and his co-workers during the period that has elapsed since the publication of the last review paper [26].…”
