...Michele Ciofalo; Fabrizio Cricchio The buoyancy‐driven magnetohydrodynamic flow in a cubic enclosure was investigated by three‐dimensional numerical simulation. The enclosure was volumetrically heated by a uniform power density and cooled along two opposite vertical walls, all remaining walls being...

...M. Lappa; R. Savino; R. Monti The influence of buoyancy forces on oscillatory Marangoni flow in liquid bridges of different aspect ratio is investigated by three‐dimensional, time‐dependent numerical solutions and by laboratory experiments using a microscale apparatus and a thermographic...

...B.S.V. Patnaik; P.A.A. Narayana; K.N. Seetharamu Flow past an isolated circular cylinder and two cylinders in tandem is numerically simulated, under the influence of buoyancy aiding and opposing the flow. A modified velocity correction method is employed, which has second order accuracy in both...

...) at steady state. © MCB UP Limited 2000 Natural convection Fluids Buoyancy Natural convection of an incompressible fluid can be driven by two different mechanisms: buoyancy forces due to temperature gradients and thermocapillary forces caused by gradients in the surface tension...

...Ali J. Chamkha This work focuses on the laminar flow of a two‐phase particulate suspension induced by a suddenly accelerated infinite vertical permeable surface in the presence of fluid buoyancy, magnetic field, heat generation or absorption, and surface suction or blowing effects. The governing...

...‐ε turbulence model with modified terms for Coriolis and rotational buoyancy is employed to resolve this elliptic problem. The duct through‐flow rate and rotating speed are fixed constantly; while the wall heat flux into the fluid is varied to examine the rotating buoyancy effect on the heat transfer...
