Heat transfer due to buoyancy-driven convective interaction in enclosures: Fundamentals and applications

摘要

Coupling of two basic mechanisms of gravity-driven convection is named as convective interactions in the paper. Classification of applications of the interaction mechanism with different orientation of input (output) heat flux to the gravity force is suggested. Brief overview and comments are done. For illustration of the classification a number of examples on the basis of experience in technique and technology are presented. Some convective interaction features with change of orientation for a model of differently heated square are shown. Critical value of the angle for bifurcation onset, heat transfer and temperature stratification in dependency of the angle, temperature oscillations onset in dependency of Pr number for inclined square are presented.
