摘要
We present simple hydrodynamic equations of supercritical fluids close to the gas-liquid critical point. We numerically solve them to examine plume generation and convection under gravity. These results are in good agreement with the experiment [A.B. Kogan and H. Meyer, Phys. Rev. E 63, 056310 (2001)]. This Letter is a first study of transient behavior of convection, which is unique in compressible fluids due to the piston effect.
