Double-diffusive mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure filled with Al2O3-water is numerically investigated. Two-dimensional nonlinear governing equations are discretized using the control volume method and hybrid scheme. The equations are solved using SIMPLER algorithm. The results are displayed in the form of streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations when the Richardson number...

The effects of double diffusive natural convection heat and mass transfer along a vertical plate embedded in a power-law fluid saturated Darcy porous medium in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects are studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically. A parametric study of t...

Abstract In this short paper, some analytical results found in “Double-diffusive Soret convection phenomenon porous media: effect of Vadasz inertia term” by F. Capone, R. De Luca, M. Vitiello, Ricerche Mat. 68, 581–595 (2019), are recalled order to better explore the dynamic thermosolutal a horizontal layer with influence and terms.

Linear stability analysis is performed for the onset of thermosolutal convection in a horizontal fluid layer with rigid-rigid boundaries. The temperature field between the walls of the fluid layer consists of two parts: a steady part and a time-dependent periodic part that oscillates with time. Only infinitesimal disturbances are considered. The effect of temperature modulation on the onset of ...

-The ratio of the fluxes of heat and salt across a diffusive interface is investigated on the premise that there are two contributions to the flux of each component. These contributions arise from the two transport mechanisms which can operate at a diffusive interface, viz. double-diffusive convection and turbulent entrainment. Estimates of the fluxes are provided for each process, and their co...

While the metallicity excess observed in the central stars of planetary systems is confirmed by all recent observations, the reason for this excess is still a subject of debate : is it primordial, is it the result of accretion or both? The basic argument against an accretion origin is related to the mass of the outer convective zones which varies by more than one order of magnitude among the co...

Double-diffusive steady convection in a partially porous cavity with partially permeable walls and under the combined buoyancy effects of thermal and mass diffusion was analysed numerically using finite volume method. The top wall is well insulated and impermeable while the bottom surface is partially well insulated and impermeable and partially submitted to constant temperature T1 and concentr...
