Despite its importance, there have been few PDE results to investigate Prandtl layers for compressible fluids, in which the thermal boundary layer for the temperature field interacts with the classical velocity Prandtl boundary layer in a…
We compute the solutions of Prandtl's and Navier-Stokes equations for the two dimensional flow induced by a rectilinear vortex interacting with a boundary in the half plane. For this initial datum Prandtl's equation develops, in a finite…
We establish a theoretical framework for predicting friction and heat transfer coefficients in variable-properties forced air convection. Drawing from concepts in high-speed wall turbulence, which also involves significant temperature,…
The flow of fluid confined between a heated rotating cylinder and a cooled stationary cylinder is a canonical experiment for the study of heat transfer in engineering. The theoretical treatment of this system is greatly simplified if the…
Statistical properties of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection at low Prandtl numbers (Pr), which are typical for liquid metals such as mercury, gallium or liquid sodium, are investigated in high-resolution three-dimensional spectral…
We carry out direct numerical simulation (DNS) of flow in a turbulent square duct by focusing on heat transfer effects, considering the case of unit Prandtl number. Reynolds numbers up to $Re_\tau \approx 2000$ are considered which are much…
This work is aimed at the study and analysis of the heat transport on a metal bar of length $L$ with a solid-solid interface. The process is assumed to be developed along one direction, across two homogeneous and isotropic materials.…
We study the boundary layer theory for slightly viscous stationary flows forced by an imposed slip velocity at the boundary. According to the theory of Prandtl (1904) and Batchelor (1956), any Euler solution arising in this limit and…
In this dissertation two-dimensional buoyancy-driven flows are investigated. While usually the Navier-Stokes equations are equipped with no-slip boundary conditions here we focus on the Navier-slip conditions that, depending on the system…
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.…
A singularly perturbed parabolic problem of convection-diffusion type with incompatible inflow boundary and initial conditions is examined. In the case of constant coefficients, a set of singular functions are identified which match certain…
We introduce a diffuse interface model describing the evolution of a mixture of two different viscous incompressible fluids of equal density. The main novelty of the present contribution consists in the fact that the effects of temperature…
This investigation deals with the analysis of stagnation point heat transfer and corresponding flow features of hydromagnetic viscous incompressible fluid over a vertical shrinking sheet. The considered sheet is assumed to be permeable and…
In this thesis, a variable speed heat conducting cylinder is positioned in the middle of a rectangular channel with an active flow modification system to demonstrate a numerical study of steady two-dimensional mixed convention heat transfer…
We provide an ab-initio scaling analysis for liquid film thickness and Nusselt number of a steady laminar jet impacting a rotating heated plate. The limiting scaling regimes incorporating the evaporative effects along the liquid-vapor…
The structure of the boundary layers in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection is studied by means of three-dimensional direct numerical simulations. We consider convection in a cylindrical cell at an aspect ratio one for Rayleigh numbers of…
The mean vertical heat transport $\langle wT \rangle$ in convection between isothermal plates driven by uniform internal heating is investigated by means of rigorous bounds. These are obtained as a function of the Rayleigh number $R$ by…
Buoyancy effect on low-flow condition convective heat transfer of non-conventional coolants, such as liquid metal and molten salts, is a crucial safety factor to advanced reactors under transient or accidental scenarios. The distinct heat…
Motivated by nuclear safety issues, we study the heat transfers in a thin cylindrical fluid layer with imposed fluxes at the bottom and top surfaces (not necessarily equal) and a fixed temperature on the sides. We combine direct numerical…
We study penetrative convection of a fluid confined between two horizontal plates, the temperatures of which are such that a temperature of maximum density lies between them. The range of Rayleigh numbers studied is $Ra = \left[10^6, 10^8…
