Two-dimensional unsteady forced convection heat transfer in power-law fluids from a cylinder
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the convection heat transfer characteristics of a cylinder (maintained at a constant temperature) immersed in a streaming power-law fluids in the two-dimensional (2-D), unsteady flow regime.

Effect of thermal buoyancy on vortex shedding behind a square cylinder in cross flow at low Reynolds numbers
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of cross buoyancy on the vortex shedding process behind a stationary heated square cylinder at low Reynolds numbers is analyzed in an unbounded medium, however, fictitious confining boundaries are chosen to make the problem computationally feasible.

Mixed Convection Heat Transfer from a Cylinder in Power-Law Fluids: Effect of Aiding Buoyancy
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixed convection heat transfer from an isothermally heated horizontal cylinder immersed in incompressible power-law fluids is considered in the steady flow regime when both the imposed flow and the buoyancy induced motion are in the same direction.

The Overall Convective Heat Transfer from Smooth Circular Cylinders
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the error due to heat conduction to the supports is particularly important with natural convection, especially where the heat loss and the temperature rise of the cylinder are calculated from the voltage drop across it.

Two-dimensional laminar fluid flow and heat transfer in a channel with a built-in heated square cylinder
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical investigation was conducted to analyze the unsteady flow field and heat transfer characteristics in a horizontal channel with a built-in heated square cylinder using a control volume finite element method adapted to the staggered grid.

Effect of channel-confinement and aiding/opposing buoyancy on the two-dimensional laminar flow and heat transfer across a square cylinder
Atul Sharma,Vinayak Eswaran +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of channel-confinement on upward flow and heat transfer characteristics around a heated/cooled square cylinder was studied by considering the effects of aiding/opposing buoyancy at −1/⩽/Ri/ρ 1, for Re = 100 and Pr = 0.7.

Numerical investigation of mixed convection heat transfer in a horizontal channel with a built-in square cylinder
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the structure of laminar wakes and heat transfer in the presence of thermal buoyancy art in a two-dimensional horizontal channel with a built-in square cylinder and showed that mixed convection can initiate periodicity and asymmetry in the wake at lower Reynolds numbers than forced convection alone.
