The problem of steady natural convection in a bottom-heated semi-elliptical enclosure has
been investigated numerically for a wide range of geometric and flow configurations using …

Multiple steady states are investigated for natural convection of fluids in a square enclosure
with non-isothermally hot bottom wall, isothermally cold side walls, and thermally insulated …

The onset of natural convection in a 2D air filled cavity open at the top with adiabatic side
walls is studied. The numerical model shows the existence of weak convective flow near the …

Natural convection and flow circulation within a cavity has received significant attention in
recent times. The wide range of applicability of flow inside a cavity (food processing …

The effect of the top and bottom wall temperatures on the natural convection heat transfer
characteristics in an air-filled square cavity driven by a difference in the vertical wall …

We report the results of interferometry-based experiments to identify the onset of natural
convection in an air-filled top open cavity. Transition from no flow to the onset of fluid motion …

Mixed and natural convection in cavities are extensively investigated subjects in the field of
heat transfer, due to the wide range of situations where this configuration appears in …

In this article, we report on numerical simulations of laminar Rayleigh–Bénard convection of
air in cuboids. We provide numerical evidence of the existence of multiple steady states …

This article presents an investigation into natural convection in trapezoidal cavities. It
examines a cavity whose floor and upper inclined walls are both adiabatic, while the vertical …

Three-dimensional steady and oscillatory flows are simulated in a vertical cylinder partially
heated from the side. The vertical wall is heated in a zone at midheight and is insulated …
