Turbulent Natural Convection

This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical model and numerical solutions for a natural convection flow over an isothermal, heated, vertical wall immersed in an ambient atmosphere that is thermally stratified. The model assumes a laminar flow near the leading edge, which then becomes a transitional flow, and finally becomes fully turbulent away from the leading edge. Effects of several typical cases of ambient stratification on heat transfer to the wall, peak velocity, and temperature are examined. It is found that the velocity field is affected more significantly by the “memory” of upstream ambient conditions than the temperature field.

A transient two dimensional study of free convection in a vertical cylinder partially annulus is conducted numerically. Uniform temperature is imposed cross a vertical wall, while the top and bottom walls are adiabatic. The governing equations are solved numerically by using a finite volume method. The coupling between the continuity and momentum equations is effected using the SIMPLER algorithm. Solutions have been obtained for Prandtl numbers equal to 7.0, Rayleigh numbers of 103to 106and height ratios 0.5. The influence of physical and geometrical parameters on the isotherms, velocity fields, average Nusselt has been numerically investigated.

Free Convection Heat

Abstract Free convection heat transfer and flow characteristics in an open-ended enclosure occupied with fluid saturated porous media is highlighted in the present paper. All numerical investigations are achieved using the mesoscopic approach Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method (TLBM) by using the Darcy- Forchheiman model. The bottom and the top sides of the porous enclosure are thermally isolated with complete or partially heated vertical wall facing the opening sidewall. The partial slice of left wall of the enclosure with a fixed heating length as (H /3), is isothermally heated at the middle, top and bottom locations. However, right side is open to the ambient physical conditions. The influences of partial heating location on free convection characteristics, namely isotherms, streamlines, centerline variations of horizontal and vertical, average and local Nusselt numbers are explored for Darcy number of 0.01, porosity of 0.4, Rayleigh number of =106 and unity Prandtl number.
