Analytical and experimental studies on the thermal performance of cross-corrugated and flat-plate solar air heaters

TL;DR: In this article, two types of solar air-heaters with cross-corrugated absorbing and bottom plates are considered and the thermal performance of these three types of heaters are analyzed, measured and compared under several configurations and operating conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow dynamics in a hot water storage tank

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tank geometry and operating conditions on the thermal stratification within a storage tank, seven three-dimensional models have been numerically simulated by using the computational fluid dynamics program Fluent with realistic boundary and initial conditions applied.
Journal ArticleDOI

A parametric study on the thermal performance of cross-corrugated solar air collectors

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive parametric study has been carried out on the thermal performance of cross-corrugated solar air collectors, which consists of a wavelike absorbing plate and a flat bottom plate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct simulation of natural convection cooling in a vertical circular cylinder

TL;DR: In this article, a scaling analysis is used to characterize the development of the vertical thermal boundary layer on the sidewall and the stratification in a vertical circular cylinder, and the transient flow patterns at the unsteady and quasi-steady stages are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct simulation of weak axisymmetric fountains in a homogeneous fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, a weak axisymmetric fountain that results from the injection of a dense fluid upwards into a large container of homogeneous fluid of lower density is studied numerically.
