In this article, the effects of the surface-normal pressure gradient on the temperature profile can be characterized by a single local configuration-parameter which depends on the local geometry and on the Rayleigh number.Abstract:
In natural convective boundary layers on inclined surfaces, the surface-normal component of the buoyancy force induces a pressure gradient across the boundary layer. For the class of flows in which inertial effects are unimportant (including flows at high Prandtl number as well as flow through fluid-saturated porous media), a local nonsimilarity analysis indicates that the effects of the surface-normal pressure gradient on the temperature profile can be characterized by a single local configuration-parameter which depends on the local geometry and on the Rayleigh number. Under Mangler's transformation the reported computational results become applicable to axisymmetric as well as 2-dimensional geometries of arbitrary contour. In contrast to the single-parameter dependence of the temperature profiles, the velocity profiles depend upon 2 local geometric parameters, as illustrated for the example of an inclined flat plate.read more

Combined convection from an isothermal horizontal rod buried in a porous medium
Hassan M. Badr,I. Pop +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a numerical investigation of mixed convection heat transfer from a horizontal rod of circular cross-section that is embedded in a porous medium are reported, where the rod temperature is first assumed to be the same as that of the medium and then suddenly increased to a higher constant value.
