"Ultimate state" of two-dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection between free-slip fixed temperature boundaries

open access: yes, 2011
Rigorous upper limits on the vertical heat transport in two dimensional Rayleigh-Benard convection between stress-free isothermal boundaries are derived from the Boussinesq approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations. The Nusselt number Nu is bounded in

Natural convection in square enclosures differentially heated at sides using alumina-water nanofluids with temperature-dependent physical properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Laminar natural convection of Al2O3 + H2O nanofluids inside square cavities differentially heated at sides is studied numerically. A computational code based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm is used for the solution of the system of the mass, momentum and ...

Numerical investigation of steady state, laminar, natural convection of Bingham fluids in a trapezoidal enclosure heated from the bottom and cooled from the sides

open access: yesInternational Journal of Thermofluids, 2023
Laminar, steady-state, natural convection of Bingham fluids in trapezoidal enclosures with a heated bottom wall, cooled inclined sidewalls and an adiabatic top wall has been studied based on numerical simulations for a range of values of nominal Bingham ...

Resolving the fine-scale structure in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present high-resolution direct numerical simulation studies of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection in a closed cylindrical cell with an aspect ratio of one. The focus of our analysis is on the finest scales of convective turbulence, in particular the

Effects of viscous dissipation and boundary conditions on forced convection in a channel occupied by a saturated porous medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Forced convection with viscous dissipation in a parallel plate channel filled by a saturated porous medium is investigated numerically. Three different viscous dissipation models are examined.

Compliant Polymeric Sheet‐Based Heat Exchangers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents flexible, transparent, and deployable polymer heat exchangers that achieve a heat transfer capacity per cost up to 4x higher than the state of the art, surpassing both metal and other polymer counterparts. The tube‐on‐tube design enables efficient heat transfer without flow occlusion, while the lightweight, corrosion‐resistant, and ...

Numerical investigation of nanofluid flow and heat transfer over a backward-facing step

open access: yesEngineering and Applied Science Research, 2020
In this research, the forced convection heat transfer of a nanofluid in a channel with a backward- facing step is studied by adopting the finite volume technique. The effect of nanoparticles is considered by employing the single-phase model.
