Numerical methods for Rayleigh -Benard convection inside a Hele -Shaw cell

Fluid dynamics inside a Hele-Shaw cell are investigated computationally. A Hele-Shaw cell is a rectangular chamber, filled with fluid, that consists of two closely placed parallel plates, i.e., it is very thin in one direction as compared with the other two. It effectively turns a three-dimensional...
