Natural convection is one of the most important modes of fluid flow and heat transfer. This
paper presents a review of the research on turbulent natural convection in rectangular …

Previous mathematical models of quasi-steady turbulent plumes and fountains have
described the flow that results from a prescribed input of buoyancy. We offer a new …

The linear temporal and absolute/convective stability characteristics of a thermal plume
generated along a heated vertical cylinder are investigated theoretically under the …

Trombe walls have been recognized as a cost-effective solution for reducing energy
consumption if designed properly. Most of the experimental studies available in the literature …

A temperature cascade refers to a series of spaces that are progressively warmer or cooler
than the exterior. Thermal nesting refers to architectural configurations that produce …

We present experimental results demonstrating that, for the turbulent plume from a buoyancy
source that is vertically distributed over the full area of a wall, detrainment qualitatively …

We examine a turbulent distributed wall-source plume: the flow resulting from a uniform
vertical wall source of buoyancy such as that produced by an evenly heated or cooled …

Plumes generated by vertically distributed sources of buoyancy have been observed to have
substantially lower entrainment coefficients than their equivalent-geometry constant …

The fluid mechanical processes that govern the spread of infectious agents through the air in
complex spaces are reviewed and the scientific gaps and challenges identified and …
