Buoyancy-induced flow and convective heat transfer in an inclined arc-shape enclosure

Numerical simulation of periodic mixed convective heat transfer in a rectangular cavity with a vibrating lid

“…The numerical grid-generation method was proposed by Thompson et al [19] and Chen et al [20] to generate a body-fitted curvilinear coordinates in terms of n, and g. Eq. (8), the Poisson stream function equation can then be solved by the successive over-relaxation (SOR) method, and Eqs.…”

Parametric study on mixed convection heat transfer in an inclined arc-shape cavity

“…number (Re) and Grashof number (Gr) are expressed as Eq. (6). The Prandtl number is set to be 0.7 for air in this study.…”

“…Both results gave a close agreement of flow pattern and the overall Nusselt number was found to reach a minimum value in the transition regime between the inertia-dominant and buoyancy-dominant flows. Chen and Cheng [6] further studied the flow pattern and heat transfer characteristic for the natural convection inside an inclined arc-shape enclosure. Their results revealed that when the Grashof number is higher than 10 5 , the increase in natural convection heat transfer becomes significant.…”

Natural Convection of Nanofluids in Inclined E-Shaped Enclosures

“…Due to its wide use in vast expanse of applications, understanding of the heat transfer and flow behavior within irregular shaped enclosures is also essential. Several studies have been conducted considering different shapes of enclosures such as arc-shaped enclosure by Chen and Cheng (2002), wavy enclosure by Mahmud et. al.…”
