THE SURFACE ELEVATION IN CELLULAR CONVECTION

HAROLD JEFFREYS

( St. John's College Cambridge )

Bénard observed that in cellular convection in a fluid heated below, the surface was depressed over the rising currents. His theoretical explanation is fallacious, and an analysis leads to the opposite result. A discrepancy remains between theory and observation. An alternative method of numerical solution was used as a check and may be capable of extension to other problems.
