Lecture

Instability in thermal convection

Description

This lecture covers the conditions for instability in thermal convection, including the neutral curve, base flow and pure conduction solutions, stress-free boundary conditions, and the solution ansatz. It also discusses the Rayleigh-Benard eigenvalue problem and how to solve it using finite differences. The lecture explores the transition to square patterns in Marangoni convection and the Benard-Marangoni instability.
