Abstract
This paper concerns the analysis of convective instabilities and fully developed transport properties in Benard convection. The onset of convective instabilities driven by surface-tension variations and buoyancy forces is analyzed theoretically by using the propagation theory we have developed. Based on these stability criteria, the subsequent transport correlations of fully developed buoyancy-driven convection in horizontal fluid layers are suggested. It is found that the present predictions are compared favorably with existing experimental results.
