چکیده

We obtain an upper bound on the convective heat transport in a heated from below horizontal fluid layer of infinite Prandtl number with rigid lower boundary and stress-free upper boundary. Because of the asymmetric boundary conditions the solutions of the Euler-Lagrange equations of the corresponding variational problem are also asymmetric with different thicknesses of the boundary layers on the upper and lower boundary of the fluid. The obtained bound on the convective heat transport and the corresponding wave number are between the values for a fluid layer with two rigid boundaries and a fluid layer with two stress-free boundaries.

Convective heat transport in a fluid layer of infinite Prandtl number: upper bounds for the case of rigid lower boundary and stress-free upper boundary

We present the theory of the multi-α-solutions of the variational problem for the upper bounds on the convective heat transport in a heated from below horizontal fluid layer with rigid lower boundary and stress-free upper boundary. A sequence of upper bounds on the convective heat transport is obtained. The highest bound Nu = 1+(1/6)R is between the bounds Nu = 1+0.152R for the case of a fluid ...

Insight into the Boundary Layer Flows of Free Convection and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids over a Vertical Plate using Multi-Step Differential Transformation Method

This paper presents an insight into the boundary layer of free convection and heat transfer of nanofluids over a vertical plate at very low and high Prandtl number. Suitable similarity variables are used to convert the governing systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of the flow and heat transfer to systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved using multi-s...

An Axisymmetric Contact Problem of a Thermoelastic Layer on a Rigid Circular Base

We study the thermoelastic deformation of an elastic layer. The upper surface of the medium is subjected to a uniform thermal field along a circular area while the layer is resting on a rigid smooth circular base. The doubly mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a pair of systems of dual integral equations. The both system of the heat conduction and the mechanical problems are calculated b...

Three-Dimensional Boundary Layer Flow and Heat Transfer of a Dusty Fluid Towards a Stretching Sheet with Convective Boundary Conditions

The steady three-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a dusty fluid towards a stretching sheet with convective boundary conditions is investigated by using similarity solution approach. The free stream along z-direction impinges on the stretching sheet to produce a flow with different velocity components. The governing equations are reduced into ordinary differential equations b...

A bound on the vertical transport of heat in the ultimate state of slippery convection at large Prandtl numbers

A new upper bound on the rate of vertical heat transport is established in 3 dimensions for stress-free velocity boundary conditions on horizontally periodic plates. For large (but finite) Prandtl numbers this bound is an improvement over the ‘ultimate’ Ra scaling and in the limit of infinite Pr, agrees with the bound of Ra recently derived in that limit. keywords: Rayleigh-Bénard convection, B...
