Heat Transport in Turbulent Rayleigh-Benard Convection
Xiaochao Xu, Kapil M. S. Bajaj, Guenter Ahlers
We present measurements of the Nusselt number as a function of the Rayleigh number in cylindrical cells with aspect ratios ( is the…
Extensive Scaling and Nonuniformity of the Karhunen-Loève Decomposition for the Spiral-Defect Chaos State
Scott M. Zoldi, Jun Liu, Kapil M. S. Bajaj +2
By analyzing large-aspect-ratio spiral-defect-chaos (SDC) convection images, we show that the Karhunen-Loève decomposition (KLD) scales extensively for subsystem-sizes larger than…
Square patterns in Rayleigh-Benard convection with rotation about a vertical axis
Kapil M. S. Bajaj, Jun Liu, Brian Naberhuis +1
We present experimental results for Rayleigh-Benard convection with rotation about a vertical axis at dimensionless rotation rates in the range 0 to 250 and upto 20% above the onse…
Competition between Spiral-Defect Chaos and Rolls in Rayleigh-Benard Convection
Kapil M. S. Bajaj, David S. Cannell, Guenter Ahlers
We present experimental results for pattern formation in Rayleigh-Benard convection of a fluid with a Prandtl number, Pr~ 4. We find that the spiral-defect-chaos (SDC) attractor wh…
