Effect of Buoyancy Ratio on the Development of Double-Diffusive Finger Convection in A Hele-Shaw Cell.

Technical Report Cooper, Caly A ; Glass, Robert J ; Tyler, Scott W

Highly Unstable Double-Diffusive Finger Convection in a Hele-Shaw Cell: Baseline Experimental Data for Evaluation of Numerical Models

Journal Article PRINGLE, SCOTT E ; COOPER, CLAY A ; GLASS, JR, ROBERT J - Transport in Porous Media

An experimental investigation was conducted to study double-diffusive finger convection in a Hele-Shaw cell by layering a sucrose solution over a more-dense sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The solutal Rayleigh numbers were on the order of 60,000, based upon the height of the cell (25 cm), and the buoyancy ratio was 1.2. A full-field light transmission technique was used to measure a dye tracer dissolved in the NaCl solution. They analyze the concentration fields to yield the temporal evolution of length scales associated with the vertical and horizontal finger structure as well as the mass flux. These measures show a rapidmore »« less

Double-Diffusive Finger Convection: Flow Field Evolution in a Hele-Shaw Cell

Journal Article COOPER, CLAY A ; GLASS, JR, ROBERT J ; TYLER, SCOTT W - Water Resources Research

Double-diffusive finger convection is a hydrodynamic instability that can occur when two components with different diffusivities are oppositely stratified with respect to the fluid density gradient as a critical condition is exceeded. Laboratory experiments were designed using sodium chloride and sucrose solutions in a Hele-Shaw cell. A high resolution, full field, light transmission technique was used to study the development of the instability. The initial buoyancy ratio (R{sub p}), which is a ratio of fluid density contributions by the two solutes, was varied systematically in the experiments so that the range of parameter space spanned conditions that were nearly stablemore »« less

Experimental investigation of the stability boundary for double-diffusive finger convection in a Hele-Shaw cell

Technical Report Cooper, Clay A ; Glass, Robert J ; Tyler, Scott W

OAK - B135 We apply high resolution, full field light transmission techniques to study the onset and development of convection in simulated porous media (Hele-Shaw cells) and fractures. The light transmission technique allows quantitative measurement of the solute concentration fields in time thus allowing direct measurements of the mass flux of components. Experiments are first designed to test theoretical stability relations as a function of the solute concentrations, solute diffusivities and the medium's permeability. Structural evolution and convective transport as a function of dimensionless control parameters is then determined across the full range of parameter space. We also consider themore »« less
Experimental and numerical studies of natural convection in a Hele-Shaw cell

Technical Report Viney, C E ; Hickox, C E ; Montoya, P C

The results of an experimental study are reported in which a Hele-Shaw cell was used to simulate natural convection flow in a homogeneous porous region subjected to a horizonal temperature gradient. Measured velocities and photographs of streamline patterns are compared with numerical predictions produced with the finite element computer program, MARIAH. Results of numerical simulations are also reported for Rayleigh-Benard convection in a bottom-heated, horizontal, prous layer. The numerical results are compared with the experimental Hele-Shaw cell results of Hartline and Lister. The comparison between these experimental and numerical studies provides some support for the qualification of MARIAH as amore »« less
