FULLY DEVELOPED LAMINAR FLUID FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER IN A STREAMWISE‐PERIODIC CORRUGATED DUCT WITH CONSTANT CROSS‐SECTIONAL AREA

BIJAN FARHANIEH, BENGT SUNDÉN

Laminar fully developed periodic heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in corrugated two‐dimensional ducts with constant cross‐sectional area are numerically investigated…

SOLUTION OF INVERSE STEFAN PROBLEMS BY A SOURCE‐AND‐SINK METHOD

C.K. HSIEH, MEHDI AKBARI, HONGJUN LI

A method has been developed for the solution of inverse heat diffusion problems to find the initial condition, boundary condition, and the source and sink function in the heat…

ULTRA‐SHARP SOLUTION OF THE SMITH‐HUTTON PROBLEM

B.P. LEONARD, SIMIN MOKHTARI

In 1982, Smith and Hutton published comparative results of several different convection‐diffusion schemes applied to a specially devised test problem involving…

STEADY‐STATE THERMOELASTICITY BY MULTIPLE RECIPROCITY METHOD

A.C. NEVES, A.J. NOWAK

Thermal stress problems are analysed using two coupled boundary element codes. The first code computes the temperature and heat flux distributions whereas the second one uses…

THREE‐DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF ISOTHERMAL FLUID FLOW IN GAS TURBINE COMBUSTORS

M.C. MELAAEN

A solution algorithm for the numerical calculation of isothermal fluid flow inside gas turbine combustors is presented. The finite‐volume method together with curvilinear…

NATURAL CONVECTION IN A HORIZONTAL CONCENTRIC CYLINDRICAL ANNULUS

V.K. GARG, A.Z. SZERI

This numerical study of natural convection flow in a horizontal cylindrical annulus is aimed at establishing the utility of the Galerkin‐spline formulation for natural convection…

THREE‐DIMENSIONAL SIMULATION OF THE HEAT TRANSFER AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN A LIQUID GAS TANK

J.A. VISSER, H. ROLFES

By modelling the unsteady heat transfer in liquid gas tanks, the temperature distribution in the tank as well as the heat flux reaching the liquid gas can be predicted. Knowledge…
