The layer is heated and salted from below. By introducing two balance fields and through defining new energy functionals it is proved that for CLe ≥ R, Le ≤ 1 the motionless double-diffusive solution is always stable and for CLe < R, Le < 1 the solution is globally exponentially and nonlinearly stable whenever R < 4π~2+ Le C, where Le, C and R are the Lewis number, Rayleigh number for solute and heat, respectively. Moreover, the nonlinear stability proved here is global and exponential, and the stabilizing effect of the concentration is also proved.展开更多

A complete mathematical model for the flow between the conical cylinders is built and a dimensional analysis is carried out. It is proved that at each point of the flow field the dimensionless pressure and velocity of the flow are determined by parameters: Reynolds number (Re), aspect ratio (Γ), radius ratio (η) and wall inclination angle (α). Furthermore, a sufficient and a necessary condition are derived from mechanical similarity between RLFR and a manufacturing equipment geometrically similar to RLFR. Finally, a numerical simulation for the distribution of pressure and velocity is performed. The results may provide a theoretical basis for experiment method and numerical simulation of the flow in a RLFR-like device.展开更多
