Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Inside a Closed Domain
View Published Articles →01About This Special Issue
Fluid flow and heat transfer is a burning issue in the field of applied mathematics and mechanical engineering because of its growing demand to achieve the state-of-the-art technology and improved performance in a wide range of engineering applications. A particular branch of this vast issue is the fluid flow and heat transfer in an enclosed domain. Conduction, convection and radiation are the different mode of heat transfer. Convective heat transfer is tightly coupled to the fluid flow solution. Flow and heat transfer phenomena caused by buoyancy and shear forces in enclosures have received considerable attention from researchers. Understanding of these two competing mechanisms is of great significance from both fundamental and practical standpoints. The thermal performance of enclosures has been a subject of interest for many years due to their ever increasing applications in lubrication technologies, heat exchangers for drying food, cooling of electronic devices, thermal insulation and fire propensity control in buildings, fluid dynamics in geothermal reservoirs and shallow wedge enclosures, food processing and nuclear reactors.This special issue invites investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles on the most recent developments and research efforts in the field of fluid flow and heat transfer in an enclosed domain with a view to providing guidelines for future research directions. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
Conductive, convective and radiative heat transfer
Modeling and simulation for flow and heat transfer
Heat transfer enhancement by Nanofluids
Enclosed geometries with regular or irregular surfaces
Computational methods for flow and heat transfer
Flows influenced by external forces (e.g. gravitational, magnetic etc)
