Numerical Solution of Natural Convection in a Vertical Channel.
Authors
Abstract:
Natural convection between vertical parallel plates occurs frequently in applications such as solar collectors and cooling of electronic instruments. The problem is a two dimensional developing buoyant flow. In this work, the two dimensional conservation equations are solved numerically for constant wall temperature and constant wall heat flux. The results for the local Nusselt number at the duct exit are compared with the experimental data and the agreement is reasonable.

full textDirect numerical simulation of natural convection in a vertical channel
This study presents direct numerical simulations of natural convection for air (Pr = 0.709) in a vertical channel driven by differentially heated walls at Rayleigh numbers (Ra) up to 2.0 × 107. The present data is validated with that from Versteegh and Nieuwstadt [9] for Ra = 5.0 × 106. Using the present data for higher Ra, we appraise and compare the various proposed scaling laws for the mean ...
full textA Numerical Study of Natural Convection and Radiation Interaction in Vertical Circular Pin
A numerical finite difference study has been earned out for two dimensional radiation-natural convection interaction phenomena in a vertical circular pin located at a non-participating (i.e. transparent) fluid. The coupled conservation equations in boundary layer (continuity, momentum, and energy equations) and pin energy equation are solved simultaneously using modified box method and fully im...
full textConvection in a vertical channel
The flow generated by heat convection in a long, vertical channel is studied by means of particle imagery velocimetry techniques, with the help of the thermal measurements from a previous paper (Gibert et al 2009 Phys. Fluids 21 035109). We analyse the mean velocity profiles and the Reynolds stresses, and compare the present results with the previous ones obtained in a larger cell and at a larg...
full textInvestigation of Natural Convection in a Vertical Cavity Filled with a Anisotropic Porous Media
In present paper, a numerical analysis for a rectangular cavity filled with a anisotropic porous media has been studied. It is assumed that the horizontal walls are adiabatic and impermeable, while the side walls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures and concentrations. The buoyancy force that induced the fluid motion are assumed to be cooperative. In the two extreme cases o...
