Abstract: In most studies concerning laminar natural convection along a vertical isothermal cylinder a linear relationship between fluid density and temperature has been used and kinematic viscosity and thermal diffusivity have been considered constant calculated at ambient temperature. However, it is known that the density–temperature relationship for water is non-linear at low temperatures and kinematic viscosity and thermal diffusivity are functions of temperature. In this study the problem of laminar natural convection of pure and saline water along a vertical isothermal cylinder has been investigated in the temperature range between 20 and 0 C taking into account the temperature dependence of ν, α and ρ. The results are obtained with the numerical solution of the boundary layer equations. The variation of ν, α and ρ with temperature has a strong influence on free convection characteristics.
