Dynamical System Analysis of Thermal Convection in a Horizontal Layer of Nanofluids Heated from Below

Figure 4

Computational results for the evolution of trajectories over time in the state space for different values of Rayleigh number 𝑅. The graphs represent the projection of the solution data points onto 𝑋-𝑌-𝑍 plane when Pr=10 and 𝜆=8/3 for Vadasz case and Ag case with 𝜙=0.05.
