An analytical study is presented of the laminar and | |
turbulent flow fields that result from natural convection | |
created by cooled or heated arrays of tubular elements | |
immersed in water. The study is concerned in particular | |
with the methods used to create turbulence in the NORDA | |
high-frequency sound scattering facility and many | |
numerical results are given that pertain to that | |
application. The report discusses the initially laminar | |
thermal plume that rises from a line source of heat in | |
water, the instability of this plume, the eventual | |
turbulent form of the plume, plume-plume interactions, | |
and the swaying of thermal plumes. An appendix gives a | |
chronological bibliography of works on natural convection | |
that may be pertinent to understanding of turbulent flows | |
created in situations analogous to the NORDA high- | |
frequency scattering facility. (Author) | |
