Mean flow and spiral defect chaos in Rayleigh-Benard convection
K. -H. Chiam, M. R. Paul, M. C. Cross +1
We describe a numerical procedure to construct a modified velocity field that does not have any mean flow. Using this procedure, we present two results. Firstly, we show that, in t…

Pattern Formation and Dynamics in Rayleigh-Bénard Convection: Numerical Simulations of Experimentally Realistic Geometries
M. R. Paul, K. -H. Chiam, M. C. Cross +2
Rayleigh-Bénard convection is studied and quantitative comparisons are made, where possible, between theory and experiment by performing numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equ…
