Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq effects in turbulent thermal convection in ethane close to the critical point
Guenter Ahlers, Enrico Calzavarini, Francisco Fontenele Araujo +4
As shown in earlier work (Ahlers et al., J. Fluid Mech. 569, p.409 (2006)), non-Oberbeck Boussinesq (NOB) corrections to the center temperature in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convect…
Early time evolution of Freedericks patterns generated from states of electroconvection
Denis Funfschilling, Michael Dennin
We report on the early time ordering in a nematic liquid crystal subjected to a sudden change in external ac electric field. We compare time evolution for two different initial sta…
Reynolds numbers of the large-scale flow in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard Convection
Guenter Ahlers, Eric Brown, Denis Funfschilling +1
We measured Reynolds numbers R_e of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection over the Rayleigh-number range 2 times 10^8 < R < 10^11 and Prandtl-number range 3.3 < sigma < 29 for cylin…
