Prandtl Number Effects on Mixed Convection Between Rotating Coaxial Disks
Prandtl number characterizes the competition of viscous and thermal diffusion effects and, therefore, is an influential factor in thermal-fluid flows. In the present study, the Prandtl number effects on non-isothermal flow and heat transfer between two ...

Liquid metal is widely used as the primary coolant in many advanced nuclear energy systems. Prandtl number of liquid metal is much lower than that of the conventional coolant of water or gas. Based on the Reynolds analogy, the turbulent Prandtl number is

Two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the limits of infinite and vanishing magnetic Prandtl number [PDF]
LAKB was supported by an EPSRC post-graduate studentship.We study both theoretically and numerically two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at infinite and zero magnetic Prandtl number $Pm$ (and the limits thereof), with an emphasis on solution ...

In rotating Rayleigh–Bénard problems, convection with traveling waves may occur near the sidewalls. The Rayleigh number, Taylor number and Prandtl number are involved in this phenomenon, and the convection mode is determined depending on their values. We

Hydrothermal Instability Of Thermocapillary Convection In Large-Prandtl-Number Liquid Bridges Under Microgravity [PDF]
Linear stability analysis was performed to study the mechanism of transition of thermocapillary convection in liquid bridges with liquid volume ratios ranging from 0.4 to 1.2, aspect ratio of 0.75 and Prandtl number of 100.

Method of calculation of turbulent Prandtl number for the SST turbulence model
We present a new model for turbulent Prandtl number that provides an improvement of prediction capabilities of the SST turbulence model in application to wall heat transfer problems. The model developed gives an explicit expression for the local value of

Simulation of Induction at Low Magnetic Prandtl Number [PDF]
We consider the induction of magnetic field in flows of electrically conducting fluid at low magnetic Prandtl number and large kinetic Reynolds number. Using the separation between the magnetic and kinetic diffusive lengthscales, we propose a new numerical approach.
