Transition to turbulence in thermoconvection and aerodynamics | Crédits : 2 ECTS Durée : 21 heures | Semestre : S9 |
Person in charge: Emmanuel Plaut, professor http://emmanuelplaut.perso.univ-lorraine.fr/welcome-e.htm
|
Keywords: nonlinear phenomena, stability, instability, bifurcation theory |
Prerequisites: fluid dynamics elementary course, numerical methods
|
Objectives: learn relevant nonlinear phenomena in hydrodynamics with heat transfers (thermoconvection) and aerodynamics; learn some methods to model these phenomena. |
Program and contents: The transition to spatio-temporal complexity and turbulence in fluid dynamics, which is intrinsically nonlinear, is studied by focusing on two families of systems. This is also an occasion to enrich the knowledge and know-how of the students in general fluid mechanics. The families of systems studied are: - Natural convection or `thermoconvection'
The emphasis is on the `Rayleigh-Bénard' configuration in extended geometry, where convection rolls set in under the influence of a vertical downward temperature gradient, through an instability. This is an occasion to introduce the thermal buoyancy, the Oberbeck - Boussinesq approximation, the methods of the linear and weakly nonlinear stability analyses, and to evidence a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation that leads to increased heat transfers. The secondary instabilities are also briefly discussed. The chaos is introduced both with the (historical) Lorenz model and the (more realistic) example of the Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a square cell, where chaotic large-scale flow reversals occur. Other geometries and systems are also briefly discussed, for instance, the `differential heating' configuration, where the basic temperature gradient is horizontal, therefore, thermoconvection sets in directly, as it is often the case for heating in buildings.
