| Abstract | We studied the evolution of flow structures and large-scale circulations (LSC) in Rayleigh-B & eacute;nard convection (RBC) using liquid carbon dioxide as the working medium. In this experiment, a transparent sapphire pressure vessel with observable internal flow was designed, and different temperature differences were applied between the upper and the lower surfaces of the fluid to obtain different Rayleigh numbers (Ra). We employed proper orthogonal decomposition and reconstruction to extract internal flow structures from the shadowgraphy images. We used optical flow techniques to acquire the velocity field of the flow, and we reconstructed the temperature field inside the supercritical fluid using the relationship between shadowgraphy images and refractive index. It is clearly observed that the RBC begins to produce different flow structures under a small temperature difference of 0.4 degrees C. As the number of Ra increases, the number and the speed of plumes increase, and the morphology of plumes gradually becomes elongated. When Ra exceeds a certain critical value, an LSC structure appears in the flow field, and the plumes translate laterally with the large-scale circulation, and the disorder of the vortex structure in the central flow region increases significantly. Three typical flow structures were observed: (1) single plume, (2) thermal boundary layer traveling waves, and (3) Rayleigh-Taylor instability waves. We believe that the traveling wave structure is the precursor to the single plume. The temperature field analysis of the three structures was carried out, and the velocity of the typical plume was calculated by the optical flow method. It was found that LSC transitioned from oval to square shape with the increase in Ra, and the internal plume Reynolds number slowly increased with the increase in Ra. By the in-depth study of the thermal turbulence characteristics and the coherent structure evolution law of RBC, this paper provides experimental support for revealing the mechanism of enhanced heat transfer in energy system with a liquid CO2 working fluid. |
