Freezing of Water in a Differentially Heated Cubic Cavity
Tomasz Kowalewski,Marek Rebow +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and numerical study has been made of transient natural convection of water freezing in a cube-shaped cavity and the effect of the heat transfer through the side walls is studied in two configurations: with the cavity surrounded by air and with the cavities immersed in an external water bath of constant temperature.

Transient Natural Convection of Water Near Its Density Extremum in a Rectangular Cavity
S.L. Braga,R. Viskanta +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and theoretical investigation of transient natural convective heat transfer to water near its maximum density in a rectangular cavity is reported, where different temperatures are imposed on the opposing vertical walls, and the effects of density inversion of water that has a maximum density at about 4°C are investigated.
