Urban street canyon flows play a central role in microclimate control, from street canyon to
neighbourhood and city scale, which affect pollutant dispersion, thermal comfort of residents …

Natural convection arising over vertical and horizontal heated flat surfaces is one of the most
ubiquitous flows at a range of spatiotemporal scales. Despite significant developments over …

The understanding of the transient behavior of natural convection boundary layer (NCBL) on
a heated vertical solid surface under various heating conditions is of fundamental …

Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants encounter inefficiencies at all stages of electricity
generation. Convection from the solar-thermal receiver is a significant mode of heat loss in …

Numerical simulations of a spatially develo** transitional flow in a vertical channel with
one side uniformly heated and subjected to random velocity fluctuations at the inlet have …

The total heat transfer from a finned or 'bladed'structure may be expected to rise from that of
a flat geometry due to a larger area exposed to ambient air. However, this is not always the …

An optical system combining phase-shifting interferometry (PSI) and particle image
velocimetry (PIV) is built and verified with simultaneous two-dimensional temperature-and …

This work presents the dynamical and thermal behaviors of a turbulent natural convection
flow occurring in a cubic cavity with an inner and partially heated obstacle. The top, bottom …

The objective of the present paper is to investigate the influence of the micro vortex
generator (mVG) on the inception cavitation number and mode around a National Advisory …

The transient convective boundary layer flow induced by a linear temperature gradient and
its subsequent intrusion flow are investigated in an open cavity with scaling analysis in this …
