Infinite Prandtl Number Convection with Navier-Slip Boundary Conditions

摘要

We are concerned with infinite Prandtl number Rayleigh–Bénard convection with Navier-slip boundary conditions. The goal of this work is to estimate the average upward heat flux measured by the non-dimensional Nusselt number \(\textit{Nu}\) Nu in terms of the Rayleigh number \(\textit{Ra}\) Ra , which is a non-dimensional quantity measuring the imposed temperature gradient. We derive bounds on the Nusselt number that coincide for relatively small slip lengths with the optimal Nusselt number scaling for no-slip boundaries, \(\textit{Nu}\lesssim \textit{Ra}^{1/3}\) Nu Ra 1 / 3 ; for relatively large slip lengths, we recover scaling estimates for free-slip boundaries, \(\textit{Nu}\lesssim \textit{Ra}^{5/12}\) Nu Ra 5 / 12 .
