Phys. Rev. Lett. 54, 1373–1376 (1985)Time Dependence of Flow Patterns near the Convective Threshold in a Cylindrical ContainerReceived 6 February 1985; published in the issue dated 1 April 1985 Digitally processed shadowgraph images revealed time-dependent flow patterns slightly above the convective onset in a cylindrical cell of aspect ratio L≡D/2d=15.0 (D is diameter, d is height). This time dependence was monitored for up to 200 horizontal thermal diffusion times. At larger Rayleigh numbers, the system reached time-dependent states after much shorter transients. © 1985 The American Physical Society URL:
