Abstract

Convection flow of the cellular type has been investigated in boxes of different shape. The critical Rayleigh numbers were determined as a function of the dimensions of the box. In the case of supercritical heating, decay Rayleigh numbers of the transition process from two to three dimensional cell types were specified. A distinct influence of the side walls with different thermal conductivities could be observed.
