摘要:

介绍了一个具有显著可压缩效应的热对流实验。离心机的高重力环境和氙气的选择使我们能够在4 cm高的腔体上观察到高达3.5 K cm $^{-1}$的平均绝热温度梯度。在所研究的最高转速9990 rpm下,施加到气体层的超绝热温差小于绝热温差。对流状态的特征在于大的瑞利数,约10 $^{12}$,和占主导地位的科里奥利力(埃克曼数的顺序10 $^{-6}$)。对实验中温度和压力脉动的分析表明,该气流的动力学性质属于准地转区。尽管如此,经典的幂律(指数0.3 $\pm$ 0.04)之间的努塞尔数(无量纲的热通量)和超绝热瑞利数(无量纲的超绝热温度差)观察。然而,在这种经典的高通量状态和较低的热通量状态之间可以看到潜在的滞后。目前尚不清楚这是由于可压缩效应还是科里奥利效应造成的。在对流从等温状态的瞬态制度,我们观察到一个局部的温度下降,只能用绝热减压解释。

英文摘要:

An experiment of thermal convection with significant compressible effects is presented. The high-gravity environment of a centrifuge and the choice of xenon gas enable us to observe an average adiabatic temperature gradient up to 3.5 K cm$^{-1}$ over a 4 cm high cavity. At the highest rotation rate investigated, 9990 rpm, the superadiabatic temperature difference applied to the gas layer is less than the adiabatic temperature difference. The convective regime is characterized by a large Rayleigh number, about 10$^{12}$, and dominant Coriolis forces (Ekman number of order 10$^{-6}$). The analysis of temperature and pressure fluctuations in our experiments shows that the dynamics of the flow is in a quasi-geostrophic regime. Still, a classical power law (exponent 0.3 $\pm$ 0.04) is observed between the Nusselt number (dimensionless heat flux) and the superadiabatic Rayleigh number (dimensionless superadiabatic temperature difference). However, a potential hysteresis is seen between this classical high flux regime and a lower heat flux regime. It is unclear whether this is due to compressible or Coriolis effects. In the transient regime of convection from an isothermal state, we observe a local decrease of temperature which can only be explained by adiabatic decompression.
