Content moved from Bénard cell
editIn reading about this type of convection (see Rayleigh-Bénard convection: structures and dynamics By Alexander V. Getling) I formed the impression that the primary topic really was Rayleigh-Bénard convection itself; the Benard cell is just one aspect of the broader convection patterns and instabilities; having "Benard cell" as the primary article seemed an unnecessary narrowing of the subject area. Hence I moved the content from Bénard cell here.
To outline the changes related to this move:
- Content of Bénard cell moved to Rayleigh-Bénard convection
- Bénard cell redirected to Rayleigh-Bénard convection
- Benard convection redirected to Rayleigh-Bénard convection (former redirect to Bénard cell)
- Bénard convection redirected to Rayleigh-Bénard convection (former redirect to Bénard cell)
- I added a few notes to this article, based on the above mentioned book, about some of the nomenclature confusion related to this area. This was initially an impediment in understanding the difference between convection cells in general, Benard cells, Rayleigh-Bénard convection, and Bénard-Marangoni convection (a mouthful!)
- Clarification of terminology in the convection cell article

- Removing mention of examples of Bénard cells, such as the Giants' Staircase, patterns commonly seen in dried mud, and the granulation observed in the Sun is unforgivable. David Spector (talk) 16:04, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

It is named Rayleigh-Taylor instability

There is no interface between fluids of different densities as in Rayleigh-Taylor. Rayleigh-Benard is driven by boundary conditions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:102:400A:107C:D:83AA:9C4A:380C (talk) 15:24, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
Better to put DOI for references
edithttps://doi.org/10.1080/14786441608635602
for reference 11 for instance — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.174.4.67 (talk) 22:56, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
