Experimental Investigation of a Cylinder in Turbulent Thermal Convection with an Imposed Shear Flow

Mixed convection heat transfer to and from a horizontal cylinder in cross-flow with heating from below

“…The velocity field was measured using a standard 2D digital PIV system, details of which are discussed elsewhere (Kearney et al, 2005). The focus of this paper is the cylinder surface heat flux and the details of those measurements will be outlined following the discussion of the water channel facility shown schematically in Fig.…”
