Natural convection in tilted square cavities with differentially heated opposite walls

Interaction effects between laminar natural convection and surface radiation in tilted square and shallow enclosures

“…The strong dependence of Nusselt number on the inclination angle has been brought out by them. Cianfrini et al [8] investigated laminar natural convection in square enclosure for a wide range of the tilt angle and observed a hysteresis phenomenon at an angle of 45 . Some of the experimental studies in inclined enclosures are that of Elder [9], Hollands et al [10], ElSherbiny et al [11], Inaba [12], Hamady et al [13], Ozoe et al [14] and Bohn et al [15].…”

Study on Natural Convection Heat TransferIn an Enclosure– Areview

“…Claudio Cianfrini et al [3] studied Natural convection in tilted square cavities with differentially heated opposite walls and concluded that ,for a sufficiently wide range of γ around 135• the overall amount of heat transferred in the x-direction across the cavity is larger than that corresponding to the untilted case.MostafaMahmoodi [4]did Numerical simulation of free convection of nanofluid in a square cavity with an inside heater and found that , for the vertical heaters, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the length of heater for all range of Rayleigh numbers considered. S.A. Nada [5]conducted an experiment on Natural convection heat transfer in horizontal and vertical closed narrow enclosures with heated rectangular finned base plate and results showed that introduction of fins with any fin array geometries increases the rate of transfer of heat.M.J.…”

RBF-DQ Solution of Natural Convection under the Effect of a Magnetic Field in a Tilted Cavity

“…Cianfrini et al (2005) numerically studied the natural convection in a tilted, differentially opposite heated walls in a cavity employing the SIMPLE algorithm. They found that the inclination angle around 135 ,  and 315  causes the overall heat transfer to be larger than 0…”
