In the paper, the results of physical and numerical simulation of a natural convective flow formed over a heated horizontal disk are presented. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the occurrence of various stable states of a free-convection plume depending on the temperature of the heated surface. The presented flow patterns make it possible to determine the critical value of the temperature factor at which a change of stable states is observed. The visualization data obtained in the framework of physical modeling are compared and supplemented with data on flow patterns obtained numerically. A mechanism for the formation of separate air masses (“puffs”), which destroy both the near-wall layer and the formed upward flow is proposed. It was found that the emerging soft bifurcation is characterized by a sharp increase in the amplitude of perturbations with a slight increase in the value of the temperature factor: initial fluctuations of the plume boundary lead to further disruption of the heat balance and formation of puffs.
