Abstract

The secondary and tertiary motions which were observed by Elder (1965) during his experimental study of natural convection in a vertical cavity have been obtained in a numerical solution of the Boussinesq equations. Aspect ratios up to 20, Rayleigh numbers up to 3000000, a Prandtl number of 1000, and up to almost 11000 effective mesh points were used.
