Résumé : The influence of an interfacial heat release on nonlinear convective regimes, developed under the action of an imposed temperature gradient in the 47v2 silicone oil - water system, has been studied. Rigid heat-insulated lateral walls, corresponding to the case of closed cavities, have been considered. Transitions between the flows with different spatial structures, have been investigated. It is shown that the presence of an interfacial heat release can change the sequence of bifurcations and lead to the appearance of specific oscillatory regimes.
