Guidelines
The thesis should consist of the following steps:

1) Review of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics with entropy [2], using code the [3]
2) Review the Rayleigh-Bénards convection (RBC), including the current experiments [3]
3) SPH simulation of RBC using an equation of state of choice
4) Try to bring the simulation closer to the real experiments [4], especially using a more realistic equation of state for cryogenic helium.

Preliminary scope of work in English
Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC), a special case of thermal convection, is caused by heating a slab of fluid from below. Typically, the fluid motion is simulated using the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation, where the fluid is assumed to have constant properties except its density varying linearly with the temperature. At high Rayleigh numbers, direct numerical simulation of confined RBC is notoriously difficult [1]. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a particle-based method for simulating fluid dynamics that may be advantageous in tackling this problem.
