Bénard Convection in the Presence of Vertically Varying Exchange Processes
Abstract
The Benard convection problem is examined using a geophysical model in which the eddy coefficients of
viscosity and heat conductivity vary linearly with depth. For variations corresponding to measured coefficients,
the temperature difference over the fluid layer necessary for thermal instability decreases by up to
40% of that needed when the coefficients remain constant. The first unstable mode is affected very little by
the coefficient variation. The position of the lower oceanic boundary of a convective layer is discussed briefly.

Piecewise arithmetic expressions of numeric functions and their applicatio to design of numeric function generators
Nagayama, Shinobu; Sasao, Tsutomu; Butler, Jon T. (Old City Publishing, Inc., 2013);In this paper, we propose a new representation of numeric functions using a piecewise arithmetic expression. To represent a numeric function compactly, we partition the domain of the function into uniform segments, and ... -
