Conjugate heat transfer by natural convection, conduction and radiation in open cavities

Modelling conjugate flow and heat transfer in a ventilated room for indoor thermal comfort assessment

“…For large Grashof number , the temperature inside the finite-thickness wall was broadly of two-dimensional distribution and the non-uniform distributed temperature on the solid-fluid interfaces would cause asymmetric flow patterns [1]. The distribution of heat flux was also affected by surface radiation emissivity, wall conductivity ratio, and wall thickness [8]. In the conjugate mixed convection study, it was revealed that the locations of vertical heat source and horizontal ventilation opening slot would have major influences on the strength and pattern of flow circulation and the level of heat transfer [9].…”

Numerical solutions of 2-D unsteady incompressible flow with heat transfer in a driven square cavity using streamfunction-vorticity formulation

“…There is a distinct advantage in using a scheme that will allow equations (15) and (16) to be solved by means of tridiagonal forms only. Therefore, a fully implicit scheme, namely Alternating-Direction-Implicit (ADI) scheme is used for solving numerically these coupled partial differential equations (15) and (16).…”

“…Luo and Yang [12] have studied multiple fluid flow and heat transfer solutions in a two sided lid-driven cavity. Nouanegue et al [16] have investigated the conjugate heat transfer by natural convection, conduction and radiation in open cavities in which a uniform heat flux was applied to the inside surface of the solid wall facing the opening. Flow and heat transfer inside a square cavity with double-sided oscillating lids have been studied numerically by Noor et al [15].…”

Conjugate Natural Convection in a Closed Domain Containing a Heat-Releasing Element with a Constant Heat-Release Intensity

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Conjugate problems of heat transfer attract researchers' attention [7-12] because of possible applications of these problems [7,[9][10][11] and the absence of comprehensive models of analyzed processes. For instance, conjugate natural convection of a heat-releasing fluid around a ribbed pipe placed in the central part of a square cavity was numerically simulated in [8].…”

“…It was demonstrated that the optimal position of the heater depends both on the heater power and thermophysical characteristics of the wall on which the heater is located and on the geometric characteristics of the solution domain. Conjugate combined heat transfer in an open cavity with one wall having a finite thickness was studied numerically in [10]. The heat flux was uniformly distributed over the inner surface of the wall.…”
