Pressure-gradient-driven flows in grooved horizontal channels were investigated. The
results show that a significant reduction in pressure losses can be achieved by exposing …

An analysis of natural convection in a horizontal, geometrically non-uniform slot exposed to
spatially non-uniform heating has been carried out. The upper plate is smooth and …

An external force is required to maintain the relative movement of horizontal plates. It is
shown that this force is reduced when the plates are subject to a spatially distributed …

Flows in channels exposed to spatially distributed heating were investigated. Such flows are
of interest as theoretical analyses suggest that heating leads to the reduction of pressure …

Transition of natural convection on a circular cooled surface with heated annular extension
is investigated in the present study by numerical simulation. Flow features and regimes of …

It has been recently shown [A. Abtahi and JM Floryan,“Natural convection and thermal drift,”
J. Fluid Mech. 826, 553 (2017)] that a horizontal flow, the thermal drift, can be created by …

An analysis of the use of heated grooves for resistance reduction was carried out. The model
problem consisted of two parallel plates in a relative motion. The stationary plate was …

An analysis of heat transfer in non-uniformly heated corrugated slots has been carried out. A
sinusoidal corrugation is placed at the lower plate that is exposed to heating consisting of …

Streaks and rolls are of interest in mixing intensification. It is shown that they can be created
in a controlled manner in fully developed shear layers using spatially distributed heating …

This paper considers viscous fluid flow in a slot between two parallel plates which start
inclining with respect to the horizontal line. The lower plate was heated and had non …
