Free convection with a nonlinear dependence of density of temperature: Plane problems

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of numerical simulation of free-convective heat transfer with a square-law dependence of density on temperature are presented. The special features of the velocity and temperature fields above a horizontal linear heat source and on a flat vertical surface as a function of the boundary conditions and the Prandtl number are studied. Detailed tables of numerical solutions are given.
