This research presents a thermal evaluation of an absorber-partitioned air channel solar
chimney (SC-AP) to determine its feasibility as a building ventilation system in a warm …

The effects of variable properties and non-uniform heating on laminar air flows induced by
natural convection in vertical channels are investigated numerically. A full-elliptic model …

The present study reports the numerical simulation of natural convection heat transfer from
an open square cavity with two side vents provided symmetrically on the side walls. The top …

Influence of variable thermophysical properties is investigated in airflows established by
natural convection inside vertical tubes. Systematic numerical results are obtained for …

A numerical study of natural convective flows in a vertical converging channel for different
angles of convergence has been carried out, taking into account the lacks reported in the …

Buoyancy-driven flows established in open cubical cavities are investigated. Three-
dimensional, laminar, transitional and turbulent simulations are obtained, considering both …
