... evaluated through the experimental methodology. Free and open-source computational tools were used to simulate the experimental conditions and to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the thermal plume characteristics over the plates. Findings The numerical results were experimentally validated...

... and concentration gradients, and validate the results against numerical and experimental data available from literature. Design/methodology/approach The fully explicit Artificial Compressibility (AC) version of the Characteristic Based Split (CBS) scheme is adopted to solve double diffusion (DD) problems...
