Analysis of flow reversal for laminar mixed convection in a vertical rectangular duct with one or more isothermal walls. (English) Zbl 1005.76080
From the summary: We present an investigation of laminar fully developed mixed convection in a vertical rectangular duct. The analysis refers to thermal boundary conditions, such that at least one of four duct walls is kept isothermal. The evaluation of velocity field and temperature field is performed analytically. We also discuss the limiting case of free convection, i.e. the case of pure buoyancy-driven flow.
