LAMINAR NATURAL CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER IN PARABOLIC ENCLOSURES

A finite volume analysis of laminar natural convection of air within full parabolic enclosures heated from below is reported for the enclosure aspect ratio 0.27 £ AR £ 0.7 and a range of the Rayleigh number 5.5 x 106 £ Ra £ 9.8 x 107. The shape of the enclosures strongly affects the results obtained...
