in this work a numerical study of thermal and fluid dynamics behavior of natural air convection in a square cavity in a laminar flow is presented, by finite volume method. the square cavity has two walls heated with different temperatures and two isolated walls. the numerical simulation is made up of several rayleigh numbers to . flow and isotherm lines are presented and analyzed. the numerical...

mixed convection is a fundamentally significant heat transfer mechanism that occurs in selection industrial and technological applications. in this study, first the laminar mixed convection inside rectangular enclosure with moving wall and aspect ratio=10 is modeled and then the results are compared with other investigate. after showing varity of results, the investigation is continued with tur...

in this study, mixed convection heat transfer and local and global entropy generation in aventilated square cavity have been investigated numerically. the natural convection effect isachieved by a constant heat flux imposed at the bottom wall and cooled by injecting a coldfollow. in order to investigate the effect of port location, four different placementconfigurations of the inlet and outlet ...

Results are presented from a series of analytical and numerical studies of buoyantly driven flows along heated vertical surfaces immersed in stably stratified fluids. Flows of the studied type are broadly represented in engineering and geophysical applications. First, the classical problem of one-dimensional natural convection flow along a heated wall is revisited for the case of a stably strat...

The problem of laminar, natural convection flow over a vertical f rus tum of a cone is treated in this paper. The thermal boundary condition at the wall include both the constant wall temperature and the constant wall heat flux cases. The governing differential equations are solved by a combinat ion of quasilinearization and finitedifference methods. Numerical solutions are obtained for a range...

a numerical investigation of laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a shallow two-sided lid driven rectangular enclosure of aspect ratio 5, (ar=5) is executed. the natural convection effect is sustained by subjecting the bottom wall to a higher temperature than its top counterpart. in addition, the two horizontal walls of the enclosure are moving in different directions and the two vertical ...

The problem of steady, laminar and incompressible natural convection flow in an octagonalenclosure was studied. In this investigation, two horizontal walls were maintained at a constant hightemperature, two vertical walls were kept at a constant low temperature and all inclined walls wereconsidered adiabatic. The enclosure was assumed to be filled with a Bousinessq fluid. The studyincludes comp...

This paper describes one-dimensional (parallel) laminar and transitional regimes of natural convection in a viscous stably stratified fluid due to temporally-periodic variations in the surface temperature of infinite vertical plates and cylinders. Analytical solutions are obtained for the periodic laminar regime for arbitrary values of stratification, Prandtl number and forcing frequency. The s...
