Abstract: | A numerical and experimental study has been made on the flow and heat transfer in inclined air-filled cavities with aspect
ratios 1–18 at Ra numbers from 2·104–5·105 and angles of inclination from 40 to 90°. Core stratification influences the flow. Due to this there arises a torque with
two components depending on angle of inclination. On basis of the two torques the computed effects on flow and temperature
fields can be explained. For the heat transfer a scaling law could be derived. Experimental data validate the numerical studies. |
