The synchronization of the helicity of an instability with azimuthal wavenumber m = 1 by a weak tidal m = 2 perturbation might play a key role in explaining the phase-stable Schwabe cycle of the solar dynamo [1]. To elucidate this type of interaction, we study a thermally driven Rayleigh-Bénard convection under a tide-like influence. We focus first on the generation of the m = 2 mode flow by electromagnetic forcing and then on its low-frequency modulation. In the last section, we present preliminary results on the interaction of this perturbation with the sloshing/torsional motion of the Large Scale Circulation (LSC) of a Rayleigh-Bénard convection flow. While the main focus of the paper is on the numerical side, some comparisons with experimental results are also made. Figs 9, Refs 8.

The time dependent behaviour of the large-scale circulation in a Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell exhibits a rich set of different three-dimensional flow features like rotations or torsional modes. In this paper, the applicability of contactless inductive flow tomography to visualise these flow features in a cylindrical cell filled with GaInSn is investigated numerically. The simulated flow in the cylinder with a diameter of 320 mm and a height of 640 mm serves as a basis to investigate the quality of the reconstructed velocity field by contactless inductive flow tomography.

The mechanical behaviour of the oxide film that develops at the metal-air interface of molten A356 aluminum alloy is investigated in relation to the oxidation level. Based on two previous papers - the first one focusing on the chemical aspects of the oxidation process at the liquid surface of molten aluminum, the second one focusing on its mechanical characterization, the present paper aims at reconciling these two approaches usually considered separately in the literature and proposes a stand-alone mechano-chemical model. The oxidation process is first characterized from thermogravimetric analyses together with scanning electron microscopy imaging. Then the mechanical properties of the oxide layer are determined at a given oxidation level, making use of a new annular MHD surface viscometer placed inside a chemical reactor. The kinetic study delivers a better understanding of the oxidation process involved at the surface of the A356 alloy and leads to the development of a revised version of the Deal−Grove model. In addition, the mechanical study reveals the highly viscous and shear-thinning behaviours of the oxide layer. Figs 3, Refs 14.
