.... In fact, several phenomena such as turbulent natural convection contribute to the thermal energy exchange. Therefore, the heat transfer in buildings have attracted the attention of several researchers. The turbulent natural convection is a very common phenomenon that occurs in many systems (heating...

...Igor Miroshnichenko; Mikhail Sheremet; Ali J. Chamkha Purpose The purpose of this paper is to conduct a numerical analysis of transient turbulent natural convection combined with surface thermal radiation in a square cavity with a local heater. Design/methodology/approach The domain...

...Igor V Miroshnichenko; M A Sheremet Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present transient turbulent natural convection with surface thermal radiation in a square differentially heated enclosure using non-primitive variables like stream function and vorticity. Design/methodology/approach...

...YONGKE WU; MARCEL LACROIX Melting of pure metal in presence of turbulent natural convection with Rayleigh number ranging from 106 to 109 has been studied numerically. The governing equations are formulated in terms of stream function—vorticity—temperature and the moving distorted solid/liquid...
