Abstract

The numerical modeling of the heating of a high-viscosity hydrocarbon liquid, whose viscosity and thermal conductivity depend on the temperature, is carried out in this research. A system of equations for free convection is solved in the linear Boussinesq approximation. The dynamics of changes in the temperature field and convective structures in a liquid is studied.
