...Omprakash S. Bharti; Devesh Rajan; Arun K. Saha; Malay K. Das The present research proposes an inverse natural convection algorithm for simultaneous estimation of correct values of Prandtl number (Pr) and Rayleigh number (Ra). The inverse problem is formulated as the minimization of appropriate...

...Jonathan K. Lai; Giacomo Busco; Elia Merzari; Yassin A. Hassan A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of bare rod bundles with a low pitch-to-diameter ratio is performed with heat transfer at different Prandtl numbers. Turbulence statistics for temperature and velocity as well as the turbulent budgets...

...P. Mishra; S. A. Patel; M. Trivedi; R. P. Chhabra Forced convection heat transfer is investigated from a thin disk in power-law fluids over wide range of conditions such as: Reynolds number, 1 ≤ Re ≤ 100, Prandtl number, 1 ≤ Pr ≤ 100, power-law index, 0.4 ≤ n ≤ 1.8, and disk thickness to diameter...

.... To complement the simulations, a scaling analysis is also performed to elucidate the anticipated effects of Rayleigh number (Ra), Prandtl number (Pr) and power-law index (n) on the Nusselt number. The effects of n in the range 0.6 ≤ n ≤ 1.8 on heat and momentum transport are investigated for nominal...

...Koji Matsubara; Atsushi Sakurai; Takahiro Miura; Takuya Kawabata The near-wall turbulent heat transport of the three orthogonal directions was directly solved for the Prandtl numbers ranging from 0.025 to 5.0 to validate the algebraic models of the turbulent heat flux. Two kinds of thermal...

...Eiyad Abu-Nada Dissipative particle dynamics with energy conservation (eDPD) was used to study natural convection in liquid domain over a wide range of Rayleigh Numbers. The problem selected for this study was the Rayleigh–Bénard convection problem. The Prandtl number used resembles water where...
