4 Boussinesq Approximation µ (viscosity diffusivity of momentum),κ(diffusivity of temperature), ρ (density) constant except in buoyancy force. Valid for T 0 T 1 not too large. Governing equations: Boundary conditions: ρ(t) = ρ 0 [1 α(t T 0 )] U = 0 ρ 0 [ t + (U )]U = µ U P gρ(t)e z [ t + (U )]T = κ T advection diffusion buoyancy U = 0 at z = 0,d T = T 0,1 at z = 0,d

5 Calculation and subtraction of base state Conductive solution: (U,T,P ) Motionless: U = 0 uniform temperature gradient: T = T 0 (T 0 T 1 ) z [ d density: ρ(t ) = ρ α(t 0 T 1 ) z ] d Hydrostatic pressure counterbalances buoyancy force: P = g dz ρ(t ) [ ] = P 0 gρ 0 z + α(t 0 T 1 ) z2 2d

6 Write: Buoyancy: T = T + ˆT P = P + ˆP ρ(t + ˆT) = ρ 0 (1 α(t + ˆT T 0 )) = ρ 0 (1 α(t T 0 )) ρ 0 αˆt = ρ(t ) ρ 0 αˆt P gρ(t)e z = P gρ(t ) ˆP + gρ 0 αˆte z = ˆP + gρ 0 αˆte z Advection of temperature: (U )T = (U )T + (U )ˆT ( = (U ) T 0 (T 0 T 1 ) z ) + (U )ˆT d = T 0 T 1 U e z + (U )ˆT d

7 Governing equations: ρ 0 [ t + (U )]U = ˆP + gρ 0 αˆte z + µ U U = 0 [ t + (U )] ˆT = T 0 T 1 U e z + κ ˆT d Homogeneous boundary conditions: U = 0 at z = 0,d ˆT = 0 at z = 0,d

8 Scales: z = d z, t = d2 Equations : Non-dimensionalization κ t, U = κ dū, ˆT = µκ d 3 gρ 0 α T, ˆP = µκ d 2 P κ 2 ρ 0 [ t + (Ū ) ] Ū = µκ P + µκ Te d 3 d 3 d 3 z + µκ Ū d 3 κ Ū = 0 d 2 µκ 2 [ t + (Ū ) ] T = κ 0 T 1 Ū e d 5 z + gρ 0 α dt µκ2 d d 5 gρ 0 α T Dividing through, we obtain: [ t + (Ū ) ] Ū = µ [ P + Te z + Ū ] ρ 0 κ [ t + (Ū ) ] T = (T 0 T 1 )d 3 gρ 0 α Ū e z + T κµ

10 Boundary conditions Horizontal direction: periodicity2π/q Vertical direction: at z = 0, 1 T = 0 z=0,1 perfectly conducting plates w = 0 z=0,1 impenetrable plates Rigid boundaries at z = 0,1: u z=0,1 = v z=0,1 = 0 zero tangential velocity Incompressibility x u + y v + z w = 0 = z w = ( x u + y v) u z=0,1 = v z=0,1 = 0 = x u z=0,1 = y v z=0,1 = 0 = z w z=0,1 = 0

11 Free surfaces atz = 0,1 to simplify calculations: [ z u + x w] z=0,1 = [ z v + y w] z=0,1 = 0 zero tangential stress w z=0,1 = 0 = x w z=0,1 = y w z=0,1 = 0 = z u z=0,1 = z v z=0,1 = 0 = x z u z=0,1 = y z v z=0,1 = 0 = zz w z=0,1 = z ( x u + y v) z=0,1 = 0 Not realistic, but allows trigonometric functionssin(kπz)

12 Two-dimensional case U = ψ e y = No-penetration boundary condition: { u = z ψ w = x ψ } = U = 0 0 = w = x ψ = Horizontal flux: 1 z=0 dz u(x,z) = 1 z=0 { ψ = ψ1 atz = 1 ψ = ψ 0 atz = 0 dz z ψ(x,z) = ψ(x,z)] 1 z=0 = ψ 0 ψ 1 Arbitrary constant= ψ 0 = 0 Zero flux = ψ 1 = 0 Stress-free: 0 = z u = 2 zz ψ Rigid: 0 = u = zψ atz = 0,1

14 Velocity equation t U + (U )U = Pr[ P + Te z + U] Takee y : e y t U = e y t ψe y = t ψ e y P = 0 e y Te z = x T e y U = e y ψe y = 2 ψ t ψ e y (U )U = Pr[ x T + 2 ψ] f = f f

15 e y (U )U = z (U )u x (U )w = z (u x u + w z u) x (u x w + w z w) = z u x u + z w z u x u x w x w z w + u xz u + w zz u u xx w w xz w = z u ( x u + z w) x w ( x u + z w) + u x ( z u x w) + w z ( z u x w) = ( z ψ) x ( zz ψ xx ψ) + ( x ψ) z ( zz ψ xx ψ) = ( z ψ) x ( ψ) ( x ψ) z ( ψ) = J[ψ, ψ] t ψ + J[ψ, ψ] = Pr[ x T + 2 ψ]

16 Linear stability analysis Linearized equations: t ψ = Pr[ x T + 2 ψ] t T = Ra x ψ + T Solutions: ψ(x,z,t) = ˆψ sinqx sinkπz e λt q R, k Z +, λ C T(x,z,t) = ˆT cosqx sinkπz e λt functions scalars γ 2 q 2 + (kπ) 2 λγ 2 ˆψ = Pr[ qˆt + γ 4 ˆψ] λˆt = Ra q ˆψ γ 2ˆT
