... online October 25, 2013. Assoc. Editor: Zhixiong Guo. 11 01 2013 16 07 2013 Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the natural convection heat transfer performance of non-Newtonian power-law fluids in a cavity bounded by wavy vertical walls with different temperatures...

...Yanhai Lin; Liancun Zheng; Xinxin Zhang This paper presents numerical studies on the problem of steady MHD thermocapillary Marangoni convection flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting non-Newtonian power-law fluid driven by temperature gradient. Non-Fourier's heat transfer model...

.... Soret effect forced convection power-law fluid non-Darcy porous medium thermal stratification The problem of natural convection heat and mass transfer from bodies immersed in thermally stratified fluid-saturated porous medium arises in many important applications. Free convection...

... values Ra in the range 10 3 –10 6 and a Pr range of 10–10 5 . In addition the results are compared with the constant wall temperature (CWT) configuration. It is found that the mean Nusselt number Nu ¯ increases with increasing values of Ra for both Newtonian and power-law fluids in both...

...D. A. Nield The alternative ways of modeling form drag in a porous medium saturated by a power-law fluid in current usage are discussed. It is argued that the best alternative is to use the same expression as that used in the case of a Newtonian fluid, but with a modified Forchheimer coefficient...
