Two-Component Bénard Problem with Poiseuille Flow

Abstract
The stability of a two-component fluid layer heated from below with a Poiseuille flow is examined taking into account the concentration gradient due to thermal dif-fusion, i. e. the Soret effect. Using the variational method (local potential technique) developed by Glansdorff and Prigogine, an approximate solution is proposed for dilute solutions. Critical Rayleigh numbers versus Reynolds numbers are presented for various Soret coefficients. © 1977, Walter de Gruyter. All rights reserved.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
