CONVECTIVE OSCILLATORY FLOWS IN TWO-LAYER SYSTEMS UNDER THE ACTION OF AN INCLINED TEMPERATURE GRADIENT

摘要

The influence of the horizontal component of the temperature gradient on nonlinear oscillatory convective flows,developed under the joint action of buoyant and thermocapillary effects in the 47 v2 silicone oil - water system, isinvestigated. The layers with different thicknesses are considered. Transitions between nonlinear regimes of convection,have been studied. It is shown that under the action of the horizontal component of the temperature gradient, theasymmetric oscillatory flow takes place in the system.
