It would not have been possible to produce this book without the wealth of published
knowledge in this subject. The author is particularly grateful to the following persons and …

We investigate experimentally and numerically the turbulent natural convection flow that
develops in a differentially heated cavity of height H= 1 m, width W= H and depth D= 0.32 H …

A thermal lattice BGK model with doubled populations, together with a new boundary
condition for temperature and heat flux, is proposed to simulate the two-dimensional natural …

We investigate with direct numerical simulations the onset of unsteadiness, the route to
chaos and the dynamics of fully chaotic natural convection in an upright square air-filled …

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 …

Vertical convection (VC) under the action of vertical vibration in a square cavity has been
investigated using direct numerical simulation. The simulations are conducted with Prandtl …

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 …

A parametric study of multiple steady states, their stability, onset of oscillatory instability, and
some supercritical unsteady regimes of convective flow of a Boussinesq fluid in laterally …

This paper deals with the influence of radiation on natural convection airflows in confined
areas. The investigated configuration is a square differentially-heated cavity at Ra= 1.5× 10 …
