<strong>Computer</strong> <strong>simulation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>thermal</strong> <strong>convection</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Rayleigh</strong>-<strong>Bénard</strong> <strong>cell</strong><br />

Changes <strong>of</strong> the direction <strong>of</strong> the gradient <strong>of</strong> velocity are illustrated below with<br />

the plots <strong>of</strong> the velocity vector fields.<br />

Fig. 6.6: The plot <strong>of</strong> the velocity vector field at the dimensionless time t=14.1<br />

Fig. 6.7: The plot <strong>of</strong> the velocity vector field at the dimensionless time t=14.3<br />
