Effects of Joule heating on EHD-enhanced natural convection in an enclosure

Numerical modeling of natural convection in partially open square cavities under electric field

“…Kasayapanand [15] also presented numerical results of the effect of electrode bank arrangements in a horizontal channel on the heat transfer enhancement characteristics. The electrohydrodynamic phenomenon on natural convection in the enclosures was studied by Shu and Lai [16], Yang and Lai [17], and Yan et al [18]. Most of these researches concluded that EHD enhancement of heat transfer is significantly increased at low Rayleigh number.…”

Electrohydrodynamic Induced Flow and Heat Transfer in Vertical Channel with Fin Array Attached

“…The computational method in the electrostatic precipitator has been indicated by Yamamoto and Velkoff [9]. The electrohydrodynamic phenomenon on natural convection inside an enclosure with Joule heating effect was studied by Huang and Lai [10] and Yang and Lai [11]. Molki and Damronglerd [12], Molki et al [13], and Molki and Harirchian [14] investigated the corona wind augmented heat transfer in various applications via a new approach by explicit artificial viscosity to improve the solution of electric charge density.…”

Numerical modeling of the electrohydrodynamic effect to natural convection in vertical channels

“…The computational method in the electrostatic precipitator was conducted by Yamamoto and Velkoff [3]. The electrohydrodynamic phenomenon on natural convection inside the enclosures was indicated by Shu and Lai [4], Yang and Lai [5], and Yan et al [6]. Kasayapanand and Kiatsiriroat [7,8] investigated the corona wind augmented heat transfer inside channel with the optimum electrode arrangement by computational fluid dynamics technique.…”
