Abstract
The steady motion of water in an enclosed rectangular cavity with differentially heated vertical end walls was studied experimentally, and the results are compared with the findings of parts 1 and 2. The depth-to-length ratios of the cavities were 102 and 1·9 × 102, and the Rayleigh number was allowed to vary sufficiently to enable a study to be made of the transition from a flow driven by the vertical wall boundary layers to one sustained by a longitudinal temperature gradient in the central sections of the cavity.Keywords
