Transient natural convection flows around a thin fin on the sidewall of a differentially heated cavity

F Xu, JC Patterson, C Lei - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2009 - cambridge.org
Transient natural convection flows around a thin fin on the sidewall of a differentially heated
cavity, which includes a lower intrusion under the fin, a starting plume bypassing the fin and …

Natural versus forced convection in laminar starting plumes

MC Rogers, SW Morris - Physics of Fluids, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
A starting plume or jet has a well-defined, evolving head that is driven through the
surrounding quiescent fluid by a localized flux of either buoyancy or momentum, or both. We …
