Abstract |
|
|
| The onset of convection in a horizontal layer of fluid heated from below in the presence
of a gravity field varying across the layer is investigated. The eigenvalue problem
governing the linear stability of the mechanical equilibria of the fluid layer in the case
of free boundaries is solved using a Galerkin method based on shifted polynomials
(Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials). |
