Linear instability and the codimension-2 region in binary fluid convection between rigid impermeable boundaries

Abstract

The parameters of the linear instability to oscillatory convection (critical Rayleigh number, onset frequency, and others) are calculated for the experimentally common situation of rigid, impermeable boundaries, both near and away from the degenerate (codimension-2) bifurcation with stationary convection. This gives all linear coefficients of the standard and degenerate-amplitude equations. The small-Lewis-number limit is explicitly calculated. Wave-number and frequency jumps are confirmed in the vicinity of the codimension-2 point.
