A numerical simulation of measured transient heat transfer through a concrete ground floor slab and underlying substrata

S.W. Rees, R.M. Lloyd, H.R. Thomas

This paper presents the results of a numerical simulation of measuredheat losses from a real building. In particular, the thermal response of aconcrete ground floor slab and the…

Chebyshev series solution for radiative transport in a medium with a linearly anisotropic scattering phase function

T. Laclair, J.I. Frankel

One‐dimensional radiative heat transfer is considered in aplane‐parallel geometry for an absorbing, emitting, and linearly anisotropicscattering medium subjected to azimuthally…

Numerical visualization of convective heat transfer from a sphere — with and without radial mass efflux

Himadri Chattopadhyay, Sukanta K. Dash

The conception of a heat function, just like the stream function used ina laminar two dimensional incompressible flow field visualization, has beenintroduced to visualize the…

Numerical laminar and turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer predictions in tube banks

Franz Zdravistch, Clive A. Fletcher, Masud Behnia

Numerical predictions of laminar and turbulent fluid flow and heattransfer around staggered and in‐line tube banks are shown to agree closelywith seven experimental test cases…

A comparative study of porous media models in a differentially heated square cavity using a finite element method

D. Misra, A. Sarkar

A comparative study is made between different flow models for analysisof natural convection in a differentially heated vertical square cavityfilled with a fluid saturated porous…
