Natural convection has been extensively studied due to its presence in many engineering
applications. It is one of the most important modes of heat transfer and arises due to …

A set of complete two-and three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) in a
differentially heated air-filled cavity of aspect ratio 4 with adiabatic horizontal walls is …

An efficient self-adaptive strategy for the explicit time integration of Navier-Stokes equations
is presented. Unlike the conventional explicit integration schemes, it is not based on a …

A set of direct numerical simulations of a differentially heated cavity of aspect ratio 4 with
adiabatic horizontal walls is presented. The five configurations selected here (Rayleigh …

Turbulent natural convection with and without radiation transfer in two-dimensional (2D) and
three-dimensional (3D) air-filled differentially heated cavities is numerically investigated …

A large-scale experimental setup is built and instrumented. It consists in a 4m-high cavity
with a horizontal cross-section equal to 0.86× 1.00 m². Two opposite vertical walls are …

This is the second of a two-part paper on five direct numerical simulations of a differentially
heated cavity of aspect ratio 4 with adiabatic horizontal walls (Rayleigh numbers based on …

The main objective of this paper is to study in detail the fluid flow and the heat transfer in
plane impinging jets. Mean and fluctuating velocities and global parameters, ie the local …

Conjugate heat transfer across a hollow block is investigated numerically. Conduction heat
transfer in the block material and natural convection in the cavity are considered. Results …

The main features of TermoFluids are presented. It is a new unstructured and parallel
objectoriented CFD code for accurate and reliable solving of industrial flows. The more …
