Dynamics of a laminar plume in a cavity: The influence of boundaries on the steady state stem structure

The steady state structure of thermal plumes rising from a small heater is studied in high Prandtl number fluids. We show good agreement between laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. We study the effect of the boundaries on the plume development by numerically simulating the plume rise i...
