Natural Convection Around a Horizontal Circular Cylinder in Infinite Space and Within Confining Plates: A Finite Element Solution

Free convection heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder affected by a downstream parallel cylinder of different diameter

“…Indeed, in many technological applications, the fluid medium around the cylinder is partially or completely confined, which may imply dramatic changes in the amount of heat and momentum transferred. Nonetheless, published works readily available in the open literature are relatively few, and mainly deal with the horizontal confinement [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
