Evolution to aperiodic penetrative convection in odd shaped rectangular enclosures

Nadeem Hasan, Faisal M. Baig

The purpose of this numerical study is to analyse the character of transition from laminar to chaotic convection in a fluid layer bounded by no‐slip walls in two space dimensions…

Vortex shedding over a rectangular cylinder with ground effect: flow and heat transfer characteristics

S.Z. Shuja, B.S. Yilbas, M.O. Budair

The vortex shedding from a rectangular cylinder improves the heat transfer rates. Introducing a ground effect in such a flow system alters the shedding frequency, which in turn…

Interaction between condensate film and moist air in a cross flow

Dean Besednjak, Alojz Poredosˇ, Leopold Sˇkerget

A three‐dimensional numerical analysis was carried out to study in detail the combined heat and mass transfer processes between a moist air flow and a cooled surface when film…

Direct numerical simulation of turbulent heat transfer in an axially rotating pipe flow: Reynolds shear stress and scalar flux budgets

Shin‐ichi Satake, Tomoaki Kunugi

A direct numerical simulation with turbulent transport of a scalar quantity has been carried out to grasp and understand a laminarization phenomena caused by a pipe rotation. In…

Comparison of linear and quadratic shape functions for a hybrid control‐volume finite element method

Y. Stry, M. Hainke, Th. Jung

A control‐volume based method for the numerical calculation of axisymmetric incompressible fluid flow and heat transfer is presented. The proposed method extends the staggered…

Inverse estimation of steady‐state surface temperature on a three‐dimensional body

Sun Kyoung Kim, Woo Il Lee

This work aims to estimate the unknown surface temperature distribution on the boundary of a heat conducting solid body from temperature measurements taken from another boundary…
