Abstract
A mathematical model is developed to predict the transient response of a salt-stratified, double-diffusive system which is destabilized by radiation absorption at its bottom boundary. An accepted k-ε turbulence model is used to predict the response of the salt-stratified solution to bottom heating, and a discrete ordinates solution of the radiative transfer equation is used to predict the radiation field. Verification is achieved through comparisons of predicted and measured temperature distributions, which have been previously reported. Parametric calculations are performed to investigate the influence of the radiation source temperature, bottom surface reflectivity, optical extinction coefficient, and top surface boundary condition on system response.
