The effect of a non-linear basic temperature profile on the forced flow of a viscous liquid non-uniformly heated from below
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 March 2006
Extract
The forced motion of a liquid heated non-uniformly from below and subject to a non-constant basic temperature profile is examined. The problem is formulated as a two-point boundary-value problem which is solved by a numerical method. In agreement with previous work, the presence of a positive vertical lapse rate of basic temperature tends to decrease the forced motion. It is found that constant heat generation within the fluid produces a parabolic basic temperature profile, and this tends to increase the forced velocity components.
