Investigation of the Spring Thermal Bar Phenomenon Based on Mathematical and Laboratory Modeling

摘要

The regularities of the appearance and development of large-scale ordered convective motions and natural currents, which are the essence of the thermal bar phenomenon, are studied on basis of the mathematical and physical (laboratory) modeling. Joint application of these two methods allows us to compensate for the lack of exact exhaustive mathematical description of this phenomenon, which is cumbersome and requires a large amount of the initial data that are difficult to obtain. The main objective of our research is to gain the physical similarity between the phenomena observed in the model conditions and the whole class of the investigated phenomena.
