Free convection in vertical eccentric annuli with a uniformly heated boundary

Maged A.I. El‐Shaarawi, Esmail M. A. Mokheimer

The paper utilizes a boundary‐layer model in bipolar coordinates to study the developing laminar free convection in vertical open‐ended eccentric annuli with one of the boundaries…

Free convection in micropolar fluids over a uniformly heated vertical plate

Rama Subba Reddy Gorla, A. Slaouti, H.S. Takhar

A boundary layer solution is presented to the steady free convection from a vertical plate with uniform surface heat flux conditions and immersed in a micropolar fluid. Numerical…

Prediction of turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer in a rotating periodical two‐pass square duct

J.J. Hwang, T.Y. Lia, S.H. Chen

Turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are analyzed numerically for fluids flowing through a rotating periodical two‐pass square channel. The smooth walls of this…

Numerical study on laminar flow forced‐convection heat transfer for air in a channel with offset plates heated by radiation heat flux

Ahmed Hamza H. Ali, Koki Kishinami, Yutaka Hanaoka, Jun Suzuki

A two‐dimensional numerical study was carried out to investigate laminar forced‐convection heat transfer characteristics of air flow in a two parallel plate channel with offset…

Thermoconvective flow in a saturated, isotropic, homogeneous porous medium using Brinkman’s model: numerical study

Ò. À. Bèg, H.S. Takhar, V.M. Soundalgekar

Numerical results generated by a highly efficient finite‐difference method (originated by Keller for aerodynamical flows at the California Institute of Technology in 1970), and a…
