in present paper, a numerical analysis for a rectangular cavity filled with a anisotropic porous media has been studied. it is assumed that the horizontal walls are adiabatic and impermeable, while the side walls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures and concentrations. the buoyancy force that induced the fluid motion are assumed to be cooperative. in the two extreme cases of he...

Over the last few decades investigating performance of thermal management in high charge/discharge current has been taken into consideration many studies. In this study, a mature heat pipe-based air cooling system is built to control temperature lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell/module (184 A) discharging rate. The experimentally and numerically considered by lack natural convection, forced evaporative...

Turbulent mixed convection in channel flows with heterogeneous surfaces is studied using direct numerical simulations. The relative importance between buoyancy and shear effects, characterized by the bulk Richardson number $Ri_b$, varied order to cover flow regimes of forced, natural convection, which are associated different large-scale organization. surface consists streamwise-aligned ridges,...

A Meshless Radial Basis Function Method for Fluid Flow with Heat Transfer K Nagamani Devi1, D.W. Pepper2 Summary Over the past few years, efforts have been made to solve fluid flow and heat transfer problems using radial basis functions. This approach is meshless, easy to understand, and simple to implement. Preliminary results indicate accuracies on the order of finely meshed conventional tech...

The integration of building Energy Simulation (ES) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) programs eliminates many assumptions employed in the separate applications, resulting in more accurate predictions of building performance. This paper discusses the methods used to determine convective heat transfer on interior surfaces of building envelope, which is the key linkage between ES with CFD pro...
