Bénard-Marangoni convection

in confined containers

Anomalies Bumped containers Circular containers Hexagonal containers Square containers Symmetrized initial conditions
7 cell - oscillatory pattern «back next»
We have used Ra=48, Ma=105 and Gamma=8.38. The container has a small local bump at the bottom centered at (-2,-2) with amplitude a=0.05 and standard deviance d=2. We obtain a oscillatory final pattern.
