Rayleigh-Bénard Convection 0
Rayleigh-Bénard Convection is a type of natural convection that occurs in a horizontal fluid layer heated from below, leading to the formation of convection cells due to buoyancy-driven flow. It is a classic problem in fluid dynamics that illustrates the transition from conduction to convection as the temperature gradient increases beyond a critical threshold, characterized by the Rayleigh number.
