Mixed convection in a vertical channel with heated blocks

Mixed convection in a vertical channel, with several uniformly heated blocks deployed on one plate, is investigated numerically. Since the problem involves and unknown entrance velocity, a calculation assuming the entrance velocity profile is no longer suitable, and a special numerical formulation i...

Zusammenfassung:	Mixed convection in a vertical channel, with several uniformly heated blocks deployed on one plate, is investigated numerically. Since the problem involves and unknown entrance velocity, a calculation assuming the entrance velocity profile is no longer suitable, and a special numerical formulation is designed. The results demonstrate the importance of the ratio Ra/Re-squared and its role in governing the heat transfer mechanisms. (AIAA)
