- Abstract
- Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional mathematical models (field models) of buoyant convection in enclosures are described. The 2-D model is based on the Navier-Stokes equations and provides very high-resolution results while the 3-D model starts from the Euler equations and is therefore restricted to the description of large-scale phenomena. Results from several 2-D and 3-D computations will be presented and discussed using color graphics to illustrate the dynamical phenomena.
