- Abstract
- A computational model of three-dimensional buoyant convection in an enclosure induced by a weak volumetric source of heat and mass is presented. The hydrodynamics is directly based on the time-dependent inviscid Euler equations; the model is valid in the Boussinesq approximation and also in the more general thermally expandable approximation in which density variations are not necessarily small.
