Problem: coupled system i.e v depends on T
and T depends on v
-
Analytic:
-linearize equation
-see if infinitesimal
disturbance gets amplified
=>
critical value for Ra ~ 600, independent of Pr
- first instablities have a roll
pattern
- other patterns also exist like: square patter, hexagon pattern, cross-roll pattern ...
- no
