Abstract: In this work, numerical experiments were performed to compare the heat transfer and thermodynamic performance of melting process inside the square-shaped thermal energy storage system with three different heating configurations: ...

Abstract: Direct numerical simulations for low Prandtl number fluid (Pr = 0.0216) are used to study the steady-state Rayleigh–Bénard convection (RB) in a two-dimensional unit aspect ratio box. The steady-state RB convection is ...
