Numerical and experimental analysis of convection heat transfer in passive solar heating room with greenhouse and heat storage

Double skin façade: Modelling technique and influence of venetian blinds on the airflow and heat transfer

“…From numerical analysis point of view, the accuracy of computations is affected by the choice of grids, the viscous models, discretisation schemes and convergence and had been the major concern for numerical scientists [16][17][18]. These uncertainties that may influence the flow physics were carefully taken into account in the numerical modelling for greater accuracy.…”

Effect of Emissivity on the Heat and Mass Transfer of Humid Air in a Cavity Filled with Solid Obstacles

“…Detailed data on flow, turbulence, and heat transfer have been collected through various experiments [5][6][7]. Following this, numerical researchers have also been quick to respond to the experimental literature by conducting validation and exploratory studies on this very topic [8]. 25 The interest seems to be ongoing because more challenging situations are emerging with time [7,9].…”

“…This interest has grown due to its relevance to practical flows such as comfort in 50 indoor environments [8], design of double skin facades [16], the drying=cooling of agricultural products [1], cold storage, and other engineering applications [17]. Unlike porous media, these obstacles are not in contact with each other but are close enough to influence the transfer processes significantly.…”

Interaction Effects Between Surface Radiation and Double-Diffusive Turbulent Natural Convection in an Enclosed Cavity Filled With Solid Obstacles

“…Simultaneous heat and mass transfer in enclosures containing solid objects is important in assessing the thermal performance of many practical flows such as indoor environments [Chen and Liu 2004], drying/cooling of agricultural products [Kadem et al 2011] and other engineering applications [McBrain, 1997]. It is well known [Jaluria, 1980] that the buoyancy-driven flow field of a mixture of air and water vapour is due to the combined effects of temperature and concentration gradients.…”
