Popis: This paper deals with an analysis of a two-dimensional viscous fluid flow between the two parallel plates inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, where the lower plate is heated and the upper one is cooled. The temperature difference between the plates is gradually increased during a certain time period after which it is temporarily constant. The temperature distribution on the lower plate is not constant in x-direction, there is a longitudinal sinusoidal temperature variation imposed on the mean temperature. We have investigated the wave number and amplitude influence of this variation on the subcritical stability and the onset of the Rayleigh-Bénard convective cells, by direct numerical simulation of 2D Navier-Stokes and energy equation.
