Laminar conjugate natural convection in horizontal annuli

Experimental and numerical study of natural convection heat transfer from horizontal concentric cylinders

“…The researchers are interested not only in circular concentric geometries but also different geometries such as elliptical cylinders [30], triangular geometries [31,32] and square cylinders [33]. A technique for heat transfer enhancement in the horizontal annulus is using ultra fine solid particles in the base fluids.…”

A composite grid solver for conjugate heat transfer in fluid–structure systems

“…Finite difference, finitevolume, finite-element, boundary-element and spectral-element approximations have all been applied [33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. The different multi-domain strategies are distinguished by the degree to which domains are coupled.…”

Conjugate Natural Convection in a Closed Domain Containing a Heat-Releasing Element with a Constant Heat-Release Intensity

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Conjugate problems of heat transfer attract researchers' attention [7-12] because of possible applications of these problems [7,[9][10][11] and the absence of comprehensive models of analyzed processes. For instance, conjugate natural convection of a heat-releasing fluid around a ribbed pipe placed in the central part of a square cavity was numerically simulated in [8].…”

“…The degree of the influence of each energy-transfer mechanism on formation of thermal and hydrodynamic regimes in the cavity was found. Mathematical modeling of conjugate natural convection in a horizontal annular gap between a heat-releasing solid block and isothermal external boundaries was performed in [11]. Distributions of local thermohydrodynamic characteristics were obtained, and the influence of the shape of the inner solid block on the flow and heat-transfer regimes was analyzed.…”

“…Natural convection as one of the heat-transfer mechanisms plays an important role in various devices: elements of communications-electronics equipment and electronic materiel, industrial facilities for growing bulk monocrystals, heat exchangers and solar collectors, elements of nuclear reactor cooling systems, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Conjugate problems of heat transfer attract researchers' attention [7][8][9][10][11][12] because of possible applications of these problems [7,[9][10][11] and the absence of comprehensive models of analyzed processes.…”
