The Ra-Pr domain of laminar natural convection in an enclosure heated from the side
José L. Lage,Adrian Bejan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phenomenon of natural convection in a square enclosure heated and cooled in the horizontal direction was investigated numerically in the Prandtl number range 0.01-10 and the Rayleigh number range 102-1011.

Effect of surface geometry and orientation on laminar natural convection heat transfer from a vertical flat plate with transverse roughness elements
TL;DR: In this article, an interferometric technique was used to determine local heat transfer coefficients for surfaces with repeated ribs and steps, and the effects of parameters such as protuberance height-to-spacing ratio, conductivity of ribs, and angle of inclination were studied.

The three-dimensional nature of boundary-layer instability
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation is described, in which principal emphasis is given to revealing the nature of the motions in the non-linear range of boundary-layer instability and the onset of turbulence, and it is demonstrated that the actual breakdown of the wave motion into turbulence is a consequence of a new instability which arises in the aforementioned three-dimensional wave motion.
