The destabilizing effect of boundary slip on Benard convection

Abstract

We investigate the influence of slip boundary conditions on the onset of Bénard convection in an infinite fluid layer. It is shown that the critical Rayleigh number is a decreasing function of the slip length, and therefore boundary slip is seen to have a destabilizing effect. Chebyshev-tau and compound matrix formulations for solving the eigenvalue problem are presented.
