Thickness and Thermal Conductivities of the Walls and Fluid Layer Effects on the Onset of Thermal Convection in a Horizontal Fluid Layer Heated from Below

By Ildebrando Pérez‐Reyes, René Osvaldo Vargas‐Aguilar, Eduardo Valente Gómez‐Benítez and Iván Salmerón‐Ochoa

The thermal boundary conditions have important effects on the hydrodynamics of a thermo‐convective fluid layer. These effects are introduced through the Biot number under the Robin type boundary conditions. The thermal conductivity and thicknesses of the walls are key properties to bridge two known ideal situations widely studied: the fluid layer bounded by two insulating walls and the fluid layer bounded by two perfect thermal conducting walls. This chapter is devoted to the physical mechanisms involved in the thermal boundary conditions, its influence on the linear stability of the fluid layer and its implications with the pattern formation. A review of very important investigations on the subject is also given. The role of the thermal conductivities and thicknesses of the walls is explained with help of curves of criticality for the thermoconvection in a horizontal Newtonian fluid layer.
