Discrete‐vortical elements simulation of air jet interaction with swirling air motion inside a 2D cylinder

Asuquo B. Ebiana

A computational procedure based on a hybrid Lagrangian‐Eulerian discrete‐vortical element formulation and conformal transformation schemes are employed in this study to simulate…

Numerical study of laminar natural convection in tilted enclosure with transverse magnetic field

N.M. Al‐Najem, K.M. Khanafer, M.M. El‐Refaee

This paper numerically investigates the effect of the transverse magnetic field on flow field patterns and heat transfer processes in a tilted square cavity. The horizontal walls…

A numerical study of thermal convection in a rotating spherical annulus with axial gravitational field by using parametric spline function approximation

C.V. Raghavarao, S.T.P.T. Srinivas

A parametric spline function approximation is used to study the steady combined convection of a Boussinesq fluid contained between two concentric rotating spheres. A spline…

Natural convection in horizontal annulus filled with an anisotropic porous medium

K. Aboubi, L. Robillard, P. Vasseur

The natural two‐dimensional convection taking place between horizontal concentric cylinders filled with a satured anisotropic porous medium is studied numerically. The anisotropy…

Forced convection of non‐Newtonian fluids in porous concentric annuli

M.K. Alkam, M.A. Al‐Nimr, Z. Mousa

This study aims to numerically investigate the transient forced convection of non‐Newtonian fluid in the entrance region of porous concentric annuli. The hydrodynamic behavior of…

A fundamental study of combined free and forced convective heat transfer from a vertical plate followed by a backward step

Koki Kishinami, Hakaru Saito, Jun Suzuki, Ahmed Hamza H. Ali, Hisashi Umeki, Noriyuki Kitano

Combined forced and free laminar convective heat transfer on a vertical plate with a backward‐facing step has been studied numerically and experimentally, considering the effects…
