Abstract

A polymerase chain reaction occurring under convection conditions is studied in a simplified Rayleigh-Benard cell. During the reaction, copies of the original DNA templates are created due to circulation of the flow between the cold and hot regions. The process of creating the DNA templates copies (DNA amplification) is described by evolution equations that determine concentrations for each of the components of the mixture.
