...Xundan Shi, Graduate Student; J. M. Khodadadi, Professor A finite-volume-based computational study of steady laminar flow and heat transfer (neglecting natural convection) within a lid-driven square cavity due to a single thin fin is presented. The lid moves from left to right and a fixed thin fin...

..., and merging criteria, as well as surface cavity size characterization. It is postulated that for liquid/solid interface temperatures at and above the LFP, a sufficient number of cavities (about 20 percent) are activated and the bubble growth rates are sufficiently fast that a continuous vapor layer...

...Chunmei Xia; Jayathi Y. Murthy A numerical investigation has been conducted of flow transitions in deep three-dimensional cavities heated from below. The first critical Rayleigh number, Ra I , below which the flow is at rest, and the second critical Rayleigh number, Ra II , for transition from...
