Abstract The onset of thermal convection in an anisotropic horizontal porous layer heated from below and rotating about vertical axis, under local thermal non-equilibrium hypothesis is studied. Linear and nonlinear stability analysis of the conduction solution is performed. Coincidence between the linear instability and the global nonlinear stability thresholds with respect to the L2—norm is proved. Article Highlights A necessary and sufficient condition for the onset of convection in a rotating anisotropic porous layer has been obtained. It has been proved that convection can occur only through a steady motion. A detailed proof is reported thoroughly. Numerical analysis shows that permeability promotes convection, while thermal conductivities and rotation stabilize conduction.

This paper is concerned with the solution of the 3-D-Navier-Stokes equations describing the steady motion of a viscous fluid inside a partially filled spinning and coning cylinder. The cylinder contains either a single fluid of volume less than that of the cylinder or a central rod and a single fluid of combined volume (volume of the rod plus volume of the fluid) equal to that of the cylinder. The cylinder rotates about its axis at the spin rate ω and rotates about an axis that passes through its center of mass at the coning rate Ω. In practical applications, as in the analysis and design of liquid-filled projectiles, the parameter ε = τ sin θ, where τ = Ω/ω and θ is the angle between spin axis and coning axis, is small. As a result, linearization of the Navier-Stokes equations with this parameter is possible. Here, the full and linearized Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a spectral collocation method to investigate the nonlinear effects on the moments caused by the motion of the fluid inside the cylinder. In this regard, it has been found that nonlinear effects are negligible for τ ≈ 0.1, which is of practical interest to the design of liquid-filled projectiles, and the solution of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations is adequate for such a case. However, as τ increases, nonlinear effects increase, and become significant as ε surpasses about 0.1. In such a case, the nonlinear problem must be solved. Complete details on how to solve such a problem is presented.


Helmholtz was the first to remark on the instability of those “liquid surfaces” which separate portions of fluid moving with different velocities, and Kelvin, in investigating the influence of wind on waves in water, supposed frictionless, has discussed the conditions under which a plane surface of water becomes unstable. Adopting Kelvin’s method, Rayleigh investigated the instability of a surface of discontinuity. A clear and easily accessible rendering of the discussion is given by Lamb. The above investigations are conducted upon the well-known principle of “small oscillations”—there is a basic steady motion, upon which is superposed a flow, the squares of whose components of velocity can be neglected. This method has the advantage of making the equations of motion linear. If by this method the flow is found to be stable, the equations of motion give the subsequent history of the system, for the small oscillations about the steady state always remain “small.” If, however, the method indicates that the system is unstable, that is, if the deviations from the steady state increase exponentially with the time, the assumption of small motions cannot, after an appropriate interval of time, be applied to the case under consideration, and the equations of motion, in their approximate form, no longer give a picture of the flow. For this reason, which is well known, the investigations of Rayleigh only prove the existence of instability during the initial stages of the motion. It is the object of this note to investigate the form assumed by the surface of discontinuity when the displacements and velocities are no longer small.

The reactions of active nitrogen with the fluoroethylenes C2H3F, 1,1-C2H2F2, C2HF3, and C2F4 have been investigated in a conventional flow system using a mass spectrometer to detect products and intermediate species. Addition of various gases (H, H2, NH3, CH4, N2O, [Formula: see text], and F) to the reacting mixtures provides evidence that both Hand F atoms play significant roles in the reaction mechanisms, while [Formula: see text] does not. A brief discussion of possible mechanisms is presented.
