摘 要:In this article the instabilities appearing in a liquid layer are studied numerically by means of the linear stability *** fluid is confined in an annular pool and is heated from below with a linear decreasing temperature profile from the inner to the outer *** top surface is open to the atmosphere and both lateral walls are *** the Rayleigh number as the only control parameter,many kind of bifurcations appear at moderately low Prandtl numbers and depending on the Biot *** regions on the Prandtl-Biot plane are identified,their boundaries being formed from competing solutions at codimension-two bifurcation points.
