Predicting uncertainty and confidence intervals in thermal radiative modeling using the Monte Carlo ray‐trace method

María Cristina Sánchez, J.R. Mahan

The purpose of this paper is to present the results obtained from numerical models of radiant energy exchange in instruments typically used to measure various characteristics of…

Numerical simulation of heat transfer at the interface of dissimilar materials

Ningbo Liao, Ping Yang

The small dimensions of future device designs also imply a stronger effect of material boundary resistance. For nanoscale devices and structures, especially, interface phenomena…

Role of thermally stratified medium on a free convection flow from a rotating sphere

P. Saikrishnan, Satyajit Roy, H.S. Takhar, R. Ravindran

The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of thermally stratified medium on a free convection flow from a sphere, which is rotating about the vertical axis, immersed in…

The onset of bio‐thermal convection in a suspension of gyrotactic microorganisms in a fluid layer with an inclined temperature gradient

A.A. Avramenko, A.V. Kuznetsov

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a combined bioconvection and thermal instability problem in a horizontal layer of finite depth with a basic temperature gradient…

Simulation of mixed convection in slender rectangular cavity with lattice Boltzmann method

Y. Guo, R. Bennacer, S. Shen, D.E. Ameziani, M. Bouzidi

The purpose of this paper is to apply the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to simulate mixed flow, which combines natural convection for temperature difference and forced convection…
