Energy stability bounds on convective heat transport:mNumerical study
1997
Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics
The concept of nonlinear energy stability has recently been extended to deduce bounds on energy dissipation and transport in incompressible flows, even for turbulent flows. In this approach an effective stability condition on "background" flow or temperature profiles is derived, which when satisfied ensures that the profile produces a rigorous upper estimate to the bulk dissipation. Optimization of the test background profiles in search of the lowest upper bounds leads to nonlinear
