Turbulent mixed convection in an air-water system is evaluated with a novel numerical solver implementing the stochastic One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model turbulent air flow surrounded by laminar cocurrent water falling film cylindrical geometry. The ODT used as reduced order surrogate for effects of advection, heat flux, and mass-flux within one-dimensional domain. An ad-hoc temporal-to-s...

In this paper, the problem of unsteady mixed convection boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid near the stagnation-point on a vertical permeable plate with both cases of prescribed wall temperature and prescribed wall heat flux is investigated numerically. Here, both assisting and opposing buoyancy forces are considered and studied. The non-linear coupled partial differential equ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the thermal characteristics of single and double flow plane solar heaters with radiating working gas were analyzed and compared by numerical analysis for the first time. The laminar mixed convection gas flow in the heaters was numerically simulated by the CFD method using the finite volume technique. The set of governing equations included the conservation of mass, mome...

This work indicates a numerical study on the laminar heat transfer mixed convection in a square cavity with two openings (an inlet and an outlet) on vertical walls through which nanofluid flows. Two flow directions are examined: i) ascending flow which enters the bottom opening and exits the upper opening; ii) descending flow which enters the upper opening and exits the bottom opening. The asce...
