湍流Rayleigh-Benard对流中的热传输:有限的顶板和底板传导率的影响

Heat transport in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection: Effect of finite top- and bottom-plate conductivity

Eric Brown, Alexei Nikolaenko, Denis Funfschilling, Guenter Ahlers

摘要:

我们描述了三种设备,被称为大,中,小型设备,用于高精度测量的努塞尔数N作为一个函数的瑞利数R的圆柱形样品的流体和目前的结果,说明了有限的传导性的顶部和底部的板上的流体中的热传输的影响。我们使用平均温度为40摄氏度(普朗特数σ = 4.4)的水样。大型装置中的样本直径D为49.69厘米,高度L = 116.33、74.42、50.61和16.52厘米。对于中型装置,我们得到D = 24.81 cm,L = 90.20和24.76 cm。该小型装置包含D = 9.21 cm、L = 9.52 cm的样本。对于每个长宽比Gamma = D/L,数据覆盖了R的十年多一点的范围。当γ = 0.43时,当努塞尔数N = 600时,达到最大R = 10^12。用标称尺寸和形状相同的铝和铜顶板和底板进行测量。对于大型和中型装置,铝板的结果低于铜板的结果,从而定性地证实了Verzicco的预测,即有限传导率的板减少了流体中的热传递。通过同时拟合铝板和铜板的数据集来估计无限大导热率平板的努塞尔数N_infinity,其中N_infinity乘以Verzicco建议的校正因子f(X)= 1-exp [-(aX)^b],该校正因子取决于流体热阻与平板热阻之比X。在它们的不确定性内,对于大型装置,参数a和b与伽马无关,而对于中型装置,参数a和b显示出较小的伽马依赖性。大型仪器的校正值较大,中型仪器的校正值较小,小型仪器的校正值可忽略不计。

英文摘要:

We describe three apparatus, known as the large, medium, and small apparatus, used for high-precision measurements of the Nusselt number N as a function of the Rayleigh number R for cylindrical samples of fluid and present results illustrating the influence of the finite conductivity of the top and bottom plates on the heat transport in the fluid. We used water samples at a mean temperature of 40 degrees C (Prandtl number sigma = 4.4). The samples in the large apparatus had a diameter D of 49.69 cm and heights L = 116.33, 74.42, 50.61, and 16.52 cm. For the medium apparatus we had D = 24.81 cm, and L = 90.20 and 24.76 cm. The small apparatus contained a sample with D = 9.21 cm, and L = 9.52 cm. For each aspect ratio Gamma = D/L the data covered a range of a little over a decade of R. The maximum R = 10^12 with Nusselt numbers N = 600 was reached for Gamma = 0.43. Measurements were made with both Aluminum and Copper top and bottom plates of nominally identical size and shape. For the large and medium apparatus the results with Aluminum plates fall below those obtained with Copper plates, thus confirming qualitatively the prediction by Verzicco that plates of finite conductivity diminish the heat transport in the fluid. The Nusselt number N_infinity for plates with infinite conductivity was estimated by fitting simultaneously Aluminum- and Copper-plate data sets to an effective powerlaw for N_infinity multiplied by a correction factor f(X) = 1 - exp[-(aX)^b] that depends on the ratio X of the thermal resistance of the fluid to that of the plates as suggested by Verzicco. Within their uncertainties the parameters a and b were independent of Gamma for the large apparatus and showed a small Gamma-dependence for the medium apparatus. The correction was larger for the large, smaller for the medium, and negligible for the small apparatus.
