摘要:

本文用数值方法研究了长径比为1的圆柱形容器中对流流体大尺度环流的逆转和重定向。我们取Prandtl数为0.7,Rayleigh数在$6\times10^5$到$3\times10^7$的范围内。据观察,LSC的反转是由其沿方位角方向的重新取向引起的,这是使用在中平面中的侧表面附近测量的垂直速度的第一傅立叶模式的相位来量化的。在"完全反转“过程中,上述相位变化约为$180^0$,导致所有探头处的垂直速度反转。相反,在相位变化不同于$180^0$的“部分反转”期间,垂直速度仅在某些探头处反转。在数值上,我们观察到旋转和终止导致的重新取向,与早期的实验结果一致。第二傅立叶模式和第一傅立叶模式的振幅的比率在终止导致的重定向期间急剧上升。这一观测结果与在停止期间观测到的四极优势温度分布相一致。我们还观察到涉及双重停止的重新定向。

英文摘要:

We present a numerical study of the reversals and reorientations of the large scale circulation (LSC) of convective fluid in a cylindrical container of aspect ratio one. We take Prandtl number to be 0.7 and Rayleigh numbers in the range from $6\times10^5$ to $3\times10^7$. It is observed that the reversals of the LSC are induced by its reorientation along the azimuthal direction, which are quantified using the phases of the first Fourier mode of the vertical velocity measured near the lateral surface in the mid plane. During a ``complete reversal'', the above phase changes by around $180^0$ leading to reversals of the vertical velocity at all the probes. On the contrary, the vertical velocity reverses only at some of the probes during a ``partial reversal'' with phase change other than $180^0$. Numerically we observe rotation-led and cessation-led reorientations, in agreement with earlier experimental results. The ratio of the amplitude of the second Fourier mode and the first Fourier mode rises sharply during the cessation-led reorientations. This observation is consistent with the quadrupolar dominant temperature profile observed during the cessations. We also observe reorientations involving double cessation.
