摘要
The stability of a horizontal layer of fluid heated from below as well as from above is examined. The temperature gradient between the walls of the fluid layer consists of a steady part and a time-dependent part, which is oscillatory. The amplitude of temperature modulation is delta. By considering the weakly non-linear analysis, it is shown that the modulation produces a range of stable hexagons near the critical Rayleigh number. Some comparisons have been made with the other theoretical results. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
