This paper investigates the time evolution of the near-isobaric flow field produced in a gas after the sudden application of a constant heat flux from a localized energy source. The problems of plane, line, and point heat sources are all investigated, with a power law for the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity, after reduction to a quasi-linear heat equation for the temperature....

It is well known that most PDE problems defined over an axisymmetric domain can be efficiently solved by a Fourier based solution method. However, for many applications, the underlying computational domain is not entirely axisymmetric, but has one or several major axisymmetric subdomains. For such problems, an axisymmetric analysis method is not applicable, and a straightforward one can be inef...

High temperatures can stress animals by raising the oxygen demand above the oxygen supply. Consequently, animals under hypoxia could be more sensitive to heating than those exposed to normoxia. Although support for this model has been limited to aquatic animals, oxygen supply might limit the heat tolerance of terrestrial animals during energetically demanding activities. We evaluated this model...

k This study investigated the Navier-Stokes L computations of the surface heat transfer coefficients of a transition duct flow. A transition duct from an axisymmetric n cross section to a nonaxisymmetric cross section, is usually used to connect the turbine exit to the nozzle. As the gas Pr turbine inlet temperature increases, the transition duct is subjected to the high temperature at the gas ...

Effect of time dependent normal transpiration on the problem of unsteady viscous flow and heat transfer in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of an infinite circular cylinder moving simultaneously with time-depended angular and axial velocities and with time-dependent wall temperature or wall heat flux are investigated. The impinging free stream is steady with a strain rate . A re...

A conjugate heat transfer investigation was conducted to better understand the effects of an impinging radial slot jet cooling device on both the heat transfer rates and temperature fields in the fluid, and especially in the cylindrical solid cooled by this device. Such temperature nonuniformities in the solid are of practical interest as they may result in phenomena such as nonuniform material...

Increasing observations are becoming available about a relatively weak, but persistent, non-axisymmetric magnetic field co-existing with the dominant axisymmetric field on the Sun. It indicates that the non-axisymmetric magnetic field plays an important role in the origin of solar activity. A linear non-axisymmetric α − Ω dynamo model is set up to discuss the characteristics of the axisymmetric...
