Effect of Body Forces on Motion and Heat Transfer of Confined Fluids

Abstract

Despite the numerous natural and technological occurrences of transport processes due to complex driving forces little information about them is available. Under this grant we have begun to study several different coupled convection problems. Study topics include: Combined thermal and hydrodynamic instability; Effects of stabilizing temperature gradients on confined natural convection flows; Convection induced by combined horizontal temperature and concentration gradients; and Waste heat disposal into a stratified environment.
