Abstract
An experimental study on temperature gradient induced natural convection in molten gallium is presented in this paper. The induced temperature and velocity fields are mapped simultaneously. A standard hot-film anemometer working under constant temperature mode is used to measure the velocity profile, and the temperature profile is measured using a standard T type thermocouple. The obtained velocity and temperature distributions are compared with previous numerical simulations and reasonably good agreements have been achieved.
