چکیده
The authors express the Boussinesq equations of the laminar thermal and natural convection, in the case of permanent and bidimensional flow, in an annular space between two confocal elliptic cylinders. A new calculation code using the finite volumes with the primitive functions (velocity-pressure formulation) and the elliptic coordinates system is proposed. The Prandtl number is fixed at 0.7 (case of the air) with varying the Rayleigh number. The effect of the geometry of the interior elliptic cylinder on the results is examined.

Numerical investigation of natural convection phenomena in uniformly heated trapezoidal Cylinder inside an elliptical Enclosure
A numerical study of the natural convection of the laminar heat transfers in the stationary state was developed in a horizontal ring and compared between a heated trapezoidal internal cylinder and a cold elliptical outer cylinder. This annular space is traversed by a Newtonian and incompressible fluid. The Prandtl number is set to 0.7 (air case) for different Rayleigh numbers. The system of equ...
