Transverse recirculations in low Reynolds number mixed convective gas flow over a model heated substrate

Natural and mixed convection in inclined channels with partial openings

“…A number of studies investigated the instability in natural convection over inclined or slightly inclined plates heated at uniform wall temperature or heat flux as reviewed in [6][7][8]. Both natural and mixed convections between parallel plates have been thoroughly investigated recently, as shown in [9][10][11][14][15][16] for mixed convection and in [12,13,17] for natural convection.…”

“…Moreover, the onset point of the secondary flows is important because it delineates the region after which the two-dimensional laminar flow becomes three-dimensional and a transition motion from laminar to turbulent flow is observed [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In fact, the fluid layers heated from below can involve thermal instabilities due to the top heavy situation occurring.…”
