Numerical investigation of electro-thermo-convection and heat transfer enhancement in a square enclosure with various electrode arrangements

The dielectric fluid was normally used to electrically shield high-voltage applications. However, recent studies on the electrohydrodynamic technique using the dielectric fluid were attentively conducted to obtain heat transfer enhancement in keeping with its electrical-insulating feature. This stud...

description The dielectric fluid was normally used to electrically shield high-voltage applications.

The heat transfer rate in the free convection inside the enclosure can be significantly improved by the injection of space charges and working of the Coulomb force. In this study, we tested several electrode arrangements, including alternately arranged electrode pairs on walls, under the intense charge injection condition.
