Bounds on convection driven by internal heating

Bounds on convection driven by internal heating

Bounds are derived for the space–time averaged temperature 〈T〉 of a fluid layer in the Boussinesq approximation between fixed-temperature horizontal boundaries subject to uniform heating H throughout the volume. The analysis is carried out for both finite and infinite Prandtl number fluids. While the average temperature 〈T〉∼H in the purely …
