Study on the Instability of Two-Phase Flow in the Heat-Absorbing Tube of Trough Solar Collector by Ying Zhang, Peiyao Liu, Peisheng Li, Yue Chen, Yanni Pan

“…Under the gravity field, the Rayleigh-Benard effect influences the development of the vortex structure in the flow field, which in turn affects the velocity gradient near the interface to influence the evolution of the interface fluctuation. In a small Rayleigh number (Ra), the buoyancy convection reduces the velocity gradient, thus suppressing the evolution of the interfacial wave. …”
