On the role of surface grooves in the reduction of pressure losses in heated channels

MZ Hossain, JM Floryan - Physics of Fluids, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
Pressure-gradient-driven flows in grooved horizontal channels were investigated. The
results show that a significant reduction in pressure losses can be achieved by exposing …

Natural convection and thermal drift

A Abtahi, JM Floryan - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - cambridge.org
An analysis of natural convection in a horizontal, geometrically non-uniform slot exposed to
spatially non-uniform heating has been carried out. The upper plate is smooth and …

Numerical investigations of the development and suppression of the natural convection flow and heat transfer in the presence of electromagnetic force

RJ Singh, AJ Chandy - International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2020 - Elsevier
In this article, a set of parametric studies is performed to establish the optimum configuration

Natural convection in vertical enclosures with conjugate boundary conditions

T Solano, JC Ordonez, K Shoele - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
A numerical investigation and reduced-order modelling of natural convection in a cavity with
differentially heated sidewalls is discussed. The effect of conjugate boundary conditions on …

Convective heat transfer in non-uniformly heated corrugated slots

A Abtahi, JM Floryan - Physics of Fluids, 2017 - pubs.aip.org

sinusoidal corrugation is placed at the lower plate that is exposed to heating consisting of …

Streak creation using groove and heating patterns

S Panday, JM Floryan - Physical Review Fluids, 2022 - APS
The use of streamwise grooves for intensification of streaks created by heating in shear
layers has been investigated. Three ranges of groove wave numbers were of interest: wave …

[HTML][HTML] Spectrally accurate algorithm for analysis of convection in corrugated conduits

A Abtahi, MZ Hossain, JM Floryan - Computers & Mathematics with …, 2016 - Elsevier
An algorithm suitable for analysis of convection problems in corrugated conduits has been
developed. The algorithm uses the immersed boundary conditions (IBC) concept to capture …

Creation of streaks using heating patterns

S Panday, JM Floryan - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Streaks and rolls are of interest in mixing intensification. It is shown that they can be created
in a controlled manner in fully developed shear layers using spatially distributed heating …

Natural convection under sub-critical conditions in the presence of heating non-uniformities

MZ Hossain, JM Floryan - International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2017 - Elsevier

Bénard (RB) convection, heat transport across a horizontal fluid layer uniformly heated from …

Modified Rayleigh–Bénard convection driven by long-wavelength heating from above and below

JM Floryan, MZ Hossain, AP Bassom - Theoretical and Computational …, 2019 - Springer
Classical Rayleigh–Bénard convection occurs when a horizontal fluid layer is heated
sufficiently strongly from below. In more recent times, there has been increased interest in …
