Estimating the diffusive heat flux across a stable interface forced by convective motions
Entrainment at the top of the convectively-driven boundary layer (CBL) is revisited using data from a highresolution large-eddy simulation (LES). In the range of values of the bulk Richardson number RiB studied here (about 15–25), the entrainment process is mainly driven by the scouring of the interfacial layer (IL) by convective cells. We estimate the length and time scales associated with the...
متن کاملDiffusive-convective transition for scrape-off layer transport and the heat-flux width
Transport of plasma from the edge pedestal gradient region into the scrape-off layer (SOL) forms the heat exhaust channel. The properties of this channel are critical for future tokamak devices. The SOL heat-flux width is believed to be set by a competition between classical parallel transport and turbulent cross-field transport. In previous work, [Myra J R, et al. 2011 J. Nucl. Mat. 415 S605] ...
متن کاملA microscale thermophoretic turbine driven by external diffusive heat flux.
We propose a theoretical prototype of a micro-scale turbine externally driven by diffusive heat flux without the need for macroscopic particle flux, which is in sharp contrast to conventional turbines. The prototypes are described analytically and validated by computer simulations. Our results indicate that a micro-scale turbine composed of anisotropic blades can rotate unidirectionally in an e...
متن کاملA New Stabilized Formulation for Convective-diffusive Heat Transfer
This article presents a new stabilized finite-element formulation for convective-diffusive heat transfer. A mixed temperature and temperature-flux form is proposed that possesses better stability properties as compared to the classical Galerkin form. The issue of arbitrary combinations of temperature and temperature-flux interpolation functions is addressed. Specifically, the combinations of C ̊...
متن کاملA note on the transport across a diffusive interface
-The ratio of the fluxes of heat and salt across a diffusive interface is investigated on the premise that there are two contributions to the flux of each component. These contributions arise from the two transport mechanisms which can operate at a diffusive interface, viz. double-diffusive convection and turbulent entrainment. Estimates of the fluxes are provided for each process, and their co...
