Stability of natural convective motion in pure water near 4°C contained in a slot with a moving sidewall

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of plane parallel convective motion in pure water close to its temperature of maximum density is studied, where a layer of ice at its melting temperature is assumed to be contained in an inclined slot with a movable sidewall.

Multiple steady-state solutions for horizontal buoyant flows in cold water

TL;DR: In this paper, the buoyancy force arising from temperature gradients in cold water is shown to be bidirectional if the temperature range spans that of the density extremum, and the residual gap of no solutions is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrodynamic stability of multiple steady-states of vertical buoyancy-induced flows in cold pure water

TL;DR: In this article, numerical solutions of the hydrodynamic stability equations which model disturbances in steady-state, laminar flows generated by natural convection of cold pure water adjacent to a vertical, planar, isothermal surface have been obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stability of a free convection density-extremum flow in a porous medium

TL;DR: In this article, the relative stability of the multiple steady states of laminar free convection flows in a porous medium saturated with cold, pure water along a vertical, isothermal, planar surface is investigated.

A new density relation for pure and saline water

TL;DR: In this article, an equation for the density of pure and saline water was developed and the density variation was fitted in the temperature, salinity and pressure ranges to 20°C, 40%, and 1000 bars abs.

Instabilities of a buoyancy-driven system

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of a buoyancy-driven system, recently called a ‘buoyancy layer’, is examined for the whole range of Prandtl numbers, s. In this limit, the system is neutrally stable to first order, but second-order effects render the flow unstable at a Reynolds number of order σ-½.

An Experimental Study of Turbulent Natural Convection Boundary Layers

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation on turbulent natural convection boundary layers has been conducted with water on a vertical plate of constant heat flux, with the emphasis on the turbulent regime.
