Abstract
The understanding of the natural convection processes occurring within and around a closed vessel is crucial to many proposed “alternate” energy schemes. Solar energy extraction, for example, is concerned with both convective losses from the collectors and long term stability of liquid filled thermal storage tanks. With respect to the nuclear industry, a long list of natural convection in enclosures exists. Transportation of spent fuel and storage of thermally active wastes are only two of the problems falling into this category.
