Abstract
The action of centrifugal forces on convective flows in a Hele-Shaw cell is studied experimentally and theoretically for a pulsing point heat supply from below. The dependence of convection on certain factors associated with imperfection of the experimental set-up is considered. The prospects of using experimental data and numerical simulation for the design of a sensor of inertial accelerations are discussed.
