چکیده

The effects of radiation on transient natural convection of a viscous incompressible fluid confined between vertical walls have been studied. We have considered the two different cases (i) flow due to the impulsive motion and (ii) flow due to accelerated motion of one of the walls. The governing equations are solved analytically using the Laplace transform technique. The variations of velocity and fluid temperature are presented graphically. It is observed that the velocity increases for both the impulsive motion as well as the accelerated motion of one of the walls with an increase in radiation parameter. It is also observed that the velocity decreases with an increase in either Prandtl number or time for both the impulsive motion as well as the accelerated motion. An increase in Grashof number leads to a fall in velocity due to enhancement in buoyancy force. An increase in the radiation parameter leads to increase the temperature of the flow field. Further, the shear stress at the moving wall increases for both the impulsive motion as well as the accelerated motion of one of the walls with an increase in radiation parameter. The rate of heat transfer increases with an increase in either radiation parameter or Prandtl number while it decreases with an increase in time.

The effect of imposed magnetic field on natural convection in a tilted cavity with partially active walls was investigated numerically. The active part of the right side wall was at a higher temperature than the active part of the left side wall and were moving on vertical walls relative to each other. The top, the bottom and the remaining parts of the side walls were insulated. The magnetic fi...

Transient Natural Convection Flow on an Isothermal Vertical Wall at High Prandtl Numbers: Second-Order Approximation

The method of matched asymptotic expansions, which has been used in previous studies of steady natural convection flow, is extended here to transient natural convection flow at high Prandtl number (Pr). Second-order expansion solutions, valid for large Prandtl numbers, are presented for the transient natural convection flow near a vertical surface which undergoes a step change in temperature. T...

Natural Convection Heat Transfer From Horizontal Cylinders in a Vertical Arra Confined Between Parallel Walls

Laminar natural convection from an array of horizontal isothermal cylinders confined between two vertical walls, at low Rayleigh numbers, is investigated by theoretical and numerical methods. The height of the walls is kept constant, however, number of the cylinders and their spacing, the distance between the walls and Rayleigh number have been varied. The optimal spacing (confining walls) and ...
