Transition to oscillatory natural convection of water near its density maximum in a tall enclosure: Assessment of three‐dimensional effects

C.J. Ho, F.J. Tu

Numerical simulations have been performed for three‐dimensional natural convection of water near its maximum‐density (cold water) inside rectangular enclosures with differential…

Impingement cooling in a rib‐roughened channel with cross‐flow

Rongguang Jia, Masoud Rokni, Bengt Sundén

A numerical investigation to determine the velocity and heat transfer characteristics of multiple impinging slot jets in rib‐roughened channels in the presence of cross‐flow has…

Parallel ray tracing for radiative heat transfer: Application in a distributed computing environment

J.G. Marakis, J. Chamiço, G. Brenner, F. Durst

Notes that, in a full‐scale application of the Monte Carlo method for combined heat transfer analysis, problems usually arise from the large computing requirements. Here the…

MHD flow of a visco‐elastic fluid through porous medium

Bikash Chandra Ghosh, N.C. Ghosh

Here an attempt has been made to study the MHD flow of a dusty, electrically conducting, visco‐elastic Rivlin‐Ericksen fluid starting from the rest with time‐dependent types…

A numerical investigation of heat transfer enhancement in offset strip fin heat exchangers in self‐sustained oscillatory flows

Arash Saidi, Bengt Sundén

Numerical analysis of the instantaneous flow and heat transfer has been carried out for offset strip fin geometries in self‐sustained oscillatory flow. The analysis is based on…
