Abstract

Stability of a plane-parallel flow of a nonuniformly heated binary mixture filling a vertical layer located in a field of gravity and in a high-frequency vibrational field is studied. The axis of vibrations is directed along the layer. The case of rigid and isothermal boundaries of the layer impermeable for the mixture is considered. The influence of thermal diffusion on the evolution of the admixture and the thresholds of flow stability is taken into account. The study is performed on the basis of equations for averaged fields. An asymptotic method with the use of the perturbation wavenumber as a small parameter is applied in the long-wave limit. For arbitrary values of the wavenumber, the limit of stability was determined by numerical integration. Charts of stability of gaseous and liquid binary mixtures are plotted.
