PRELIMINARY RESEARCH OF CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERIC LAYER,

Abstract

Based on an analysis of the interaction between convective heat transfer and atmospheric stratification, this paper preliminarily establishes a model of convective heat transfer, and numerical computation is given. The results of the computation show that the interaction between heat transfer and atmospheric stratification plays an important role in heat transfer. Heat flux is much greater during unstable stratification than during stable stratification. As a consequence of the vertical transfer of heat flux, atmospheric stratification clearly changes in the initial stage, while in the final stage, it approximates neutral stratification. (Author)
