Abstract

The measurement of Soret coefficients is discussed in the frame of natural convection, both for Rayleigh-Bénard and thermogravitational configurations. The Rayleigh-Bénard configuration, together with the measurement of the Hopf frequency, is recommended for negative values of Soret coefficients; the record of the thermogravitational transient vertical velocity, combined with the vertical separation at steady state, is a good way for an accurate determination of positive values of Soret coefficients.
