Abstract

Thermal vibrational convection of a pseudoplastic fluid in a closed rectangular cavity, which is in zero gravity and performing longitudinal high-frequency linearly polarized vibrations, is studied. The temperature gradient is perpendicular to the direction of vibration. The system of equations of thermovibrational convection of a Williamson pseudoplastic fluid is given. The problem was solved by the finite difference method. The effect of vibrations on the structure and intensity of flows is investigated. The magnitude of the vibrational effect on the liquid was determined by the vibrational Grashof number. The dependences of the maximum of the stream function and the Nusselt number, which determines the heat flux through the boundary of the cavity, on the vibrational Grashof number are obtained. The threshold values of the vibrational Grashof number and the Nusselt number corresponding to a change in the flow regime are determined. At small values of the Grashof vibration number in the cavity, a slow four-vortex symmetric flow is observed. With an increase in the vibrational impact, an intense three-vortex motion arises in the cavity, which transforms into five vortex-like motion. For the five vortex flows, there exists the region of Grashof vibration numbers, where this flow is oscillatory in nature. With increasing degree of non-Newtonian fluid, initially periodic oscillations become chaotic.
