Numerical and experimental study of inclined open thermosyphons

F.O. Gaa, M. Behnia, S. Leong, G.L. Morrison

A numerical model of the inclined open thermosyphon has been developed using a finite difference algorithm to solve the vorticity vector potential form of the Navier‐Stokes…

Direct numerical simulation of an impinging jet into parallel disks

Shin‐ichi Satake, Tomoaki Kunugi

A direct numerical simulation code with cylindrical geometry has been developed. A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of an impinging round jet into parallel disks is performed for…

Radiation‐natural convection interactions in partitioned cavities

A. Mezrhab, L. Bchir

The heat transfer by radiation and natural convection in a two‐dimensional, air‐filled square enclosure with a vertical partition of finite thickness and varying height was…

Three‐dimensional simulation of natural convection in cavities with side opening

I. Sezai, A.A. Mohamad

Naturally buoyant flow and heat transfer in a cubic cavity with side opening is analyzed numerically. Vertical wall of the cavity is at a higher temperature than the ambient…

Numerical simulation of side‐heated free convection loop placed in transverse magnetic field; the induced electric current

Nesreen K. Ghaddar

The hydrodynamic characteristic of a buoyancy‐driven convection loop containing an electrically‐conducting fluid in a transverse magnetic field is numerically investigated using a…

Contaminant transfer during the processing of thick three‐layer food packages with a recycled polymer between two virgin polymer layers

A.L. Perou, J.M. Vergnaud

Studies are made on food three‐layer packages, where a contaminated recycled polymer layer is located between two virgin polymer layers. As the thick food packages are made by…
