Popis: 第一組實驗中，在寬高比等於1 的圓柱形對流槽中，通過平滑板和由金字塔狀規則排列的粗糙表面的板的組合，我們對五個對流槽進行測量。对實驗測量得到Nu 和Ra 的关系式，进行两个指数函数关系式的叠加--分别是由GL 模型提出的主体主导的（1/2）指数和边界层主导的(1/4)指数关系式。两个关系式的系数之比表明，粗糙板可以提高主体的贡献，而且将系统从边界层主导转变到主体主导。而對各個板上的測量顯示，改變平板的條件，比如恒定熱量或者恒定溫度條件，以及同一個對流槽中另外一塊板是否粗糙板，該平板的傳熱沒有發生變化。而對於粗糙版，讓它處於恒定熱量或者恒定溫度條件，得到不同的結果；同一個槽中另外一塊板是平板或者粗糙板，該粗糙板的傳熱也會受影響。
第二組實驗中，在平滑板组成的对流槽，和两块粗糙板组成的对流槽中，我们添加高分子聚合物，进一步研究添加的效果。对于平滑板的对流槽，研究观察到热传递效率Nusselt 数在添加聚合物之后降低。而且，添加的聚合物越多，Nu 降低越多，在聚合物浓度大约120ppm 的时候，Nu 降低了接近12%，而且保持不变。而对于粗糙板组成的对流槽，当聚合物浓度大于120ppm 的时候，Nu 提高了大约4%。
第三組實驗，在两块平滑板组成的圆柱形对流槽中，我们也对底板边界层内的速度场进行了实验测量。结果表明，在倾斜角度小于1°的时候，速度边界层的厚度δ[subscript v]与雷诺数的指数关系，与理论给的平流边界层的结果接近。当倾斜角度比较大的时候，边界层厚度与雷诺数的指数随着角度减小。 在不同瑞利数下，同一个倾斜角度时，测量得到的水平速度剖面通过标准化后，得到的形状是一致不变的。而对于不同的角度，标准化的形状之间，是有区别的。
In this thesis three sets of experiments of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection with modified boundary conditions are presented.
The first set of measurements were made in cylindrical cells with aspect ratio one and with various combinations of smooth and rough plates in the form of regularly-arrayed pyramids. The experimental results suggest that the Nu - Ra relationship can be represented by the combination of two power laws, corresponding to the bulk dominant regime (exponent=1/2) and boundary layer dominant one (exponent=1/4) of the Grossmann-Lohse model. The behaviors of the coefficients of the two power laws suggest that the roughness of the plate can enhance the contribution of bulk and push the system to change from the boundary dominant state to bulk dominant state. A further examination of the individual plates reveal that the heat transport properties of smooth plates are insensitive to the surface and boundary conditions of the other plate of the same cell, whether smooth or rough, or whether under constant flux or constant temperature. The heat transport properties of the rough plates, on the other hand, appear to depend on surface and boundary conditions of the other plate of the same cell.
In the second set of experiments we study the effect of polymer additives in two Rayleigh-Bńard convection cells, one with smooth top and bottom plates and the other with rough top and bottom plates. For the cell with smooth plates, a reduction of the measured Nusselt number (Nu) was observed. Furthermore, the amount of Nu reduction increases with increasing polymer concentration (c), reaching ~12% for c = 120 ppm and an apparent level-off thereafter. For the cell with rough plates, however, an enhancement (~4%) of Nu was observed when the polymer concentration is greater than 120 ppm.
The third set of experiments investigates the properties of the velocity boundary layer in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical cell when it is tilted with respect to gravity. It is found that at small tilt angles (θ ≤ 1°), the measured viscous boundary layer thickness δ[subscript v] scales with the Reynolds number Re with an exponent close to that for a Prandtl-Blasius laminar boundary layer. For larger tilt angles, the scaling exponent of δ[subscript v] with Re decreases with θ. The normalized mean horizontal velocity profiles measured at the same tilt angle but with different Ra are found to have an invariant shape. But for different tilt angles, the shape of the normalized profiles is different.
