A Linearized Finite Difference Computation of Fluid Heating in an Enclosure.

摘要

In an earlier paper,approximate equations of motion were derived which are applicable to nondissipative,very nonadiabatic,buoyant flows of a perfect gas. In the present paper,these approximate equations are recast in a form in which they can be integrated by finite difference techniques. Results of some computations are presented using computer-generated plots. A discussion is given of the software required to generate these plots. The principal application of interest to the authors is buoyant convection induced in room fires.
