Popis: The buoyancy-driven instability of a monocomponent or binary fluid that is completely contained in a vertical circular cylinder is investigated, including the influence of the Soret effect for the binary mixture. The Boussinesq approximation is used, and weakly-non-linear solutions are generated via Galerkin's technique using an expansion in the eigensolutions of the associated linear stability problem. Various types of fluid mixtures and cylindrical domains are considered. Flow structure and associated heat transfer are computed and experimental observations are cited when possible.
