We compute unsteady perturbations that optimally increase the heat transfer (Nu) of optimal steady unidirectional channel flows, for a given average rate of power consumption Pe$^2$. The perturbations are expanded in a basis of modes, and…
Gradient ascent methods are developed to compute incompressible flows that maximize heat transport between two isothermal no-slip parallel walls. Parameterizing the magnitude of velocity fields by a P\'eclet number $\text{Pe}$ proportional…
We compute steady planar incompressible flows and wall shapes that maximize the rate of heat transfer (Nu) between and hot and cold walls, for a given rate of viscous dissipation by the flow (Pe$^2$). In the case of no flow, we show…
The calculus of variations is employed to find steady divergence-free velocity fields that maximize transport of a tracer between two parallel walls held at fixed concentration for one of two constraints on flow strength: a fixed value of…
We compute incompressible two-dimensional fluid flows that maximize the rate of heat transfer from the walls of a straight channel given a specified flow input power $Pe^{2}$, where $Pe$ is the P\'{e}clet number. We use the…
We consider wall-to-wall transport of a passive tracer by divergence-free velocity vector fields $\mathbf{u}$. Given an enstrophy budget $\langle |\nabla \mathbf{u}|^{2} \rangle \le Pe^{2}$ we construct steady two-dimensional flows that…
We study numerically the dependence of heat transport on the maximum velocity and shear rate of physical circulating flows, which are prescribed to have the key characteristics of the large-scale mean flow observed in turbulent convection.…
We study turbulent natural convection in enclosures with conjugate heat transfer. The simplest way to increase the heat transfer in this flow is through rough surfaces. In numerical simulations often the constant temperature is assigned at…
We find steady channel flows that are locally optimal for transferring heat from fixed-temperature walls, under the constraint of a fixed rate of viscous dissipation (enstrophy = $Pe^2$), also the power needed to pump the fluid through the…
Due to ample applications from medical services to industrial activities, the study of flow and heat transfer through a curved duct has attracted considerable attention to the researchers. In this paper, a comprehensive numerical study is…
Heat and momentum transfer in wall-bounded turbulent flow, coupled with the effects of wall-roughness, is one of the outstanding questions in turbulence research. In the standard Rayleigh-B\'enard problem for natural thermal convection, it…
We demonstrate the ability to experimentally measure fluctuations of the convective heat transfer coefficient at the wall in a turbulent boundary layer. For this, we measure two-dimensional fields of wall-temperature fluctuations beneath a…
The divergence-free time-independent velocity vector field has been determined so as to maximise heat transfer between two parallel plates of a constant temperature difference under the constraint of fixed total enstrophy. The present…
We studied flow organization and heat transfer properties in mixed turbulent convection within Poiseuille-Rayleigh-B\'enard channels subjected to temporally modulated sinusoidal wall temperatures. Three-dimensional direct numerical…
We study steady flows that are optimal for heat transfer in a two-dimensional periodic domain. The flows maximize heat transfer under the constraints of incompressibility and a given energy budget (i.e. mean viscous power dissipation).…
We discuss what is an optimal velocity field for more heat transfer and less energy dissipation under the constraints of the continuity equation for the velocity and the advection-diffusion equation for temperature in plane Couette flow.…
Sweeping jets are increasingly employed in thermal management and flow control applications due to their inherent unsteadiness and ability to cover wide surface areas. This study investigates the unsteady heat transfer and flow structures…
To understand how internal flow structures manifest themselves in the global heat transfer, we study the correlation between different flow modes and the instantaneous Nusselt number ($Nu$) in a two-dimensional square Rayleigh-B\'enard…
We numerically investigate turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection within two immiscible fluid layers, aiming to understand how the layer thickness and fluid properties affect the heat transfer (characterized by the Nusselt number $Nu$) in…
Numerical simulations for 2-D unsteady, incompressible flow with heat transfer in a four-sided lid-driven rectangular domain are reported in the present study. For the four-sided lid-driven rectangular domain, the lower wall is moved to the…
