...Marcela Cruchaga; Diego Celentano Purpose This work is devoted to the experimental analysis, numerical modelling and validation of ice melting processes. Design/methodology/approach The thermally coupled incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations including water density inversion and isothermal...

...Mohamed S. Gadala; Fuchang Xu Purpose To develop an effective and reliable procedure for the calculation of heat fluxes from the measured temperatures in experimental tests of impingement water cooling. Design/methodology/approach An inverse heat transfer analysis procedure is developed...

...Anwar Hossain; Rama Subba Reddy Gorla Purpose To investigate the effect of viscous dissipation on unsteady, combined convective heat transfer to water near its density maximum in a rectangular cavity. Design/methodology/approach The upwind finite difference scheme along with successive over...

...M.A. Habib; S.A.M. Said; H.M. Badr; I. Hussaini; J.J. Al‐Bagawi Purpose Corrosion in deadlegs occurs as a result of water separation due to the very low flow velocity. The present work aims to investigate the effect of geometry on flow field oil/water separation in deadlegs in an attempt...

...C.J. Ho; F.J. Tu Numerical simulations have been performed for three‐dimensional natural convection of water near its maximum‐density (cold water) inside rectangular enclosures with differential heating at the vertical (left and right) walls. The horizontal (top and bottom) walls and the lateral...

...C.J. Ho; F.J. Tu The stability of two‐dimensional natural convection of water near its density maximum (cold water) inside a vertical rectangular enclosure with an aspect ratio of eight is investigated via a series of direct numerical simulations. The simulations aim to clarify, under the influence...
