Turbulent natural convection in vertical parallel-plate channels

Effect of width and temperature of a vertical parallel plate channel on the transition of the developing thermal boundary layer

“…Two dimensional numerical simulations of the turbulent natural convection in a heated channel were recently performed by Said et al [2005] and Badr et al [2006]. The governing equations were solved by the finite volume discretization method assuming all the thermal properties of the air to be constant, except the density which was solved by the Boussinesq approximation.…”

“…The governing equations were solved by the finite volume discretization method assuming all the thermal properties of the air to be constant, except the density which was solved by the Boussinesq approximation. Specifically, the work of Badr et al [2006] covered a wide range of thermo physical aspects of the problems as well as geometrical ratios of the model. They also compared their results with the experimental data of Miyamoto et al [1986].…”

Transition of free convection flow between two isothermal vertical plates

“…Two-dimensional numerical simulations of turbulent natural convection in a heated channel were performed by Said et al [8] and Badr et al [9]. The governing equations were solved by 3 the finite volume discretisation method by assuming all the thermal properties of the air to be constant, except the density which was solved by the Boussinesq approximation.…”
