Abstract: | Natural convection flows of an incompressible Newtonian fluid inside a circular cylinder are studied. The heat transfer process is described by a generalized fractional constitutive equation for the thermal flux-temperature gradient. Caputo time-fractional derivative operator, which provides the damping of thermal flux, is considered into the studied model.Analytical solutions to the fluid temperature, thermal flux, fluid velocity and volume flow rate are obtained with the integral transforms method (Laplace transform and finite Hankel transform).Temperature behaviors for small and large values of the time t, as well as the post-transient and transient velocity components are determined. The influence of the memory parameter (the order of the time-fractional derivative) on the temperature, thermal flux, velocity and the volume flow rate is numerically and graphically studied. |
