The expressions for the turbulent pressure, equation of state and thermodynamic quantities taking account of turbulent pressure are derived in the framework of the mixing-length theory of convection. The numerical computations indicate that the turbulent pressure in the region close to the surface of a red giant or anAGB star can reach a value of 30-40 percent of the total pressure. A compariso...

this paper presents results of a numerical study of mixed convection and entropy generation of cu–water nanofluid in a square ventilating cavity at different inclination angles. except a piece of bottom wall with a uniform heat flux, all of the cavity walls are insulated. the inlet port is placed at the bottom of the left wall and the outlet port is positioned at the top of the right wall. entr...

This work studies the mixed convection heat transfer from a vertical plate in bidisperse porous media with constant wall temperature. The two-velocity two-temperature model is used to derive the governing equations. The effects of the mixed convection parameter, the inter-phase heat transfer parameter, the modified thermal conductivity ratio, and the permeability ratio on the heat transfer and ...

Under nonlocal convection theory, convection extends without limit therefore no apparent boundary can be defined clearly as in the local theory. From the requirement of a similar structure for both local and non-local models having the same depth of con-vection zone, and taking into account the driving mechanism of turbulent convection, we argue that a proper definition of the boundary of a con...
