Résumé : |
This paper is devoted to the onset of double-diffusive in a vertical rectangular cavity. The horizontal side-walls are impermeable and adiabatic while the vertical ones are subjected to constant heat and mass fluxes. In this study, we assume that the ratio N of solutal to thermal Grashof numbers is equal to -1. We perform , by the means of the Galerkin method, the linear stability analysis of the purely diffusive solution. The onset of convection is also numerically studied using a spectral method. It is found that, in a square bounded cavity, the purely diffusive solution becomes unstable for Rat/Le-1/=19726 for constant fluxes boundary conditions (Newman boundary conditions) while it is shown to be Rat/Le-1/=17174 for Dirichlet vertical boundary conditions. Direct numerical simulations confirm the over-mentioned results and point out the existence of a subscribal regime for a Rayleigh number which is six times smaller than the critical Rayleigh number |
