TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the natural convection heat transfer of nano-fluids in a laminar external boundary layer from the integral formalism approach and found that the sensitivity to the viscosity model played a key role in the heat transfer behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation was performed to study the heat transfer performance of a 36 nm-Al2O3-particle-water nanofluid in a confined and submerged impinging jet on a flat, horizontal and circular heated surface.

TL;DR: A Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis has been undertaken with a commercial CFD code (Fluent) to specify which model of turbulence is the most adapted in order to predict the drag forces that a swimmer encounters during his movement in the fluid environment.

TL;DR: In this article, a dynamical study of the flow in an asymmetrically heated vertical plane channel has been conducted experimentally in water for three aspect ratios and for a range of modified Rayleigh numbers corresponding to the boundary layer flow regime.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified expression of surface convective heat transfer coefficients (CHTC) is derived from a theoretical analysis based on the integral formalism and tested for building simulation purposes.
