Development of Convection in a Horizontally Non-Homogeneous Flow of Finite Depth

ABSTRACT
The development of the thermal convection in a flow with non-homogeneous distribution of the temperature in the horizontal direction is considered. The convective flows that arise due to instability result in the great distortions of the initial distribution of the temperature. The numerical simulation of the development of the convective flows has been accomplished based on the motion equations in Boussinesq approximation by using the finite difference method. The distortions of the temperature distribution in channel current and the length of the section, where the distortions are negligible, have been determined depending on the current parameters. The results of the concrete calculations are presented.
