Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Nonlinear physics
  • Thermodynamics

Background:

  • Binary fluid mixtures exhibit complex behaviors when heated from below.
  • Negative separation ratios lead to unique pattern formations like chevrons.
  • Previous experimental studies observed phenomena such as blinking states and repeated transients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the origins of blinking states and repeated transients in binary fluid mixtures.
  • To perform direct numerical simulations of fluid behavior under specific experimental conditions.
  • To achieve quantitative agreement with existing experimental data.

Main Methods:

  • Direct numerical simulations (DNS) were employed.
  • Two-dimensional containers were used for the simulations.
