The primary objective of the paper is to obtain the basic information of the natural convection of a stratified with various parametric conditions related to rotating speed, temperature and concentration gradient. For the purpose of it, experiments are performed in a stably stratified salt-water solution with lateral heating in a stationary or rotating annulus. The experiment covers the ranges of Ar=2, Le=100, R $a_{\ta}$=2 10$^{5}$ and Ta=0, 10$^{5}$ - 2.5*10$^{8}$ . Many interesting flow phenomena are observed and rotation effects are examined. Particularly as Taylor number increases (rotation increases) at a given R $a_{\ta}$, the generation of rolls at hot wall is inhibited and the formation and merging process of layers are delayed.

Natural convection flows in a doubly-inclined cubical air-filled cavity are numerically simulated by a solution code(PowerCFD) using unstructured cell-centered method. For a physical realizability, the cavity has one pair of opposing isothermal faces at different temperatures, $T_h\;and\;T_c$, respectively, the remaining four faces having a linear variation from $T_c\;to\;T_h$. The paper redefines a new doubly-inclined orientation for the cubical-cavity benchmark problem. Special attention is paid to three-dimensional thermal characteristics in natural convection according to the new orientation at $Ra=4\times10^4$. Comparisons of the average Nusselt number at the cold face are made with benchmark solutions and experimental results found in the literature. It is found that the average Nusselt number at the cold face has a maximum value at the doubly-inclined angle ranging from $40^{\circ}\;to\; 45^{\circ}$ We also report the effect of new orientation on the type of temperature structure in a doubly-inclined cubical-cavity.

In the present study, buoyant force and its stabilizing effects in an electrostatic field were examined systematically in order to reduce the effect of natural convection with thermal stratification in a horizontal fluid-saturated porous layer. The correlation of ionic mass transport induced by double-diffusive convection in a horizontal porous layer has been derived theoretically. And the theoretical model was examined by electrochemical experiments. The theoretical correlation for mass transport which is satisfying Forchheimer's flow equation and based on the micro-turbulence model is derived as a function of soltual Darcy-Rayleigh number, thermal Darcy-Rayleigh number and Lewis number. In the experiment, the mass transport of copper ions in $CuSO_4-H_2SO_4$ solution is measured by electrochemical technique. By assembling theoretical correlation and experimental results, the mass transport correlation induced by double-diffusive convection is proposed as $$Sh=\frac{0.03054(Rs_D-LeRa_D)^{1/2}}{1-3.8788(Rs_D-LeRa_D)^{-1/10}}$$ The present correlation looks flirty reasonable with comparing experimental results, and very promising for the applications of its prototype into various systems involving heat transfer as well as mass transfer, in order to control the effects of natural convection effectively.

The time of the onset of double-diffusive convection in time-dependent, nonlinear concentration fields is investigated theoretically. The initially quiescent horizontal fluid layer with a uniform temperature gradient experiences a sudden concentration change from below, but its stable thermal stratification affects concentration effects in such way to invoke convective motion. The related stability analysis, including Soret effect, is conducted on the basis of the propagation theory. Under the linear stability theory the concentration penetration depth is used as a length scaling factor, and the similarity transform for the linearized perturbation equations. The newlly obtained stability equations are solved numerically. The resulting critical time to mark the onset of regular cells are obtained as a function of the thermal Rayleigh number, the solute Rayleigh number, and the Soret effect coefficient. For a certain value of the Soret effect coefficient, the stable thermal gradient promote double-diffusive convective motion.

Study on natural convection in a rectangular enclosure with a heating point has been studied by numerical and experimental methods. The governing equations were solved by a finite volume method, and for pressure term was used a SIMPLE algorithm. The parameters considered for numerical study are positions and surface temperature of a heating point i.e. Y/H = 0.25. 0.5. 0.75 and $11^{\circ}C{\leq}{\Delta}T{\leq}59^{\circ}C$. The results of isotherms and velocity vectors have been represented for various parameters. Based on the numerical data. the mean Nusselt number in the space can be expressed as a function of Grashof number

In this paper, we adapt a modified internal energy non-equilibrium first-order extrapolation thermal boundary condition to the thermal lattice Boltzmann model (TLBM). This model is the double populations approach to simulate hydrodynamic and thermal fields. The bounce-back boundary condition which is a traditional boundary condition of lattice Boltzmann method has only a first order in numerical accuracy at the boundary and numerical instability. A non-equilibrium first-order extrapolation boundary condition has been verified to be of better numerical stability than the bounce-back boundary condition and this boundary condition is proved to be of second-order accuracy for the flat boundaries. The two-dimensional natural convection flow in a square cavity with Pr=0.71 and various Rayleigh numbers are simulated. The results are found to be in good agreement with those of previous studies.

Experimental study has been carried out on natural convection in the annuli formed by two isothermal horizontal inner and outer elliptic cylinders with uniform gap. The eccentricities of inner and outer elliptic cylinder and the gap ratio for the experimental model were 0.5078, 0.389 and 0.363 respectively. The temperature distributions were obtained through the analysis of interferograms which were taken by Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the range of Rayleigh number (Ra$_{L}$) from 0.34*10$^{4}$ to 3.07*10$^{4}$. It showed that flow was laminar when Ra$_{L}$.leg. 2.5 *10$^{4}$, while above the range of Rayleigh number we could get information on the fluctuation of interference fringe. Therefore, the upper limit of Ra$_{L}$ for the correlation equation of mean equivalent conductivity in reference(1) is confirmed. The flow pattern could be visualized by simple smoke test. The comparison of streamlines, isotherms, temperature distributions and local equivalent heat conductivity between existing numerical and present experimental results showed good agreement.ement.

The objective of this study is experimentally to investigate natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid for a concentric annuli under rotating magnetic field with variations of the revolution and the magnetic field strength. The rotating magnetic field was provided by induction motor with 6 poles and 3 phases and the revolution and the magnetic field strength were controlled by an inverter driver and a voltage meter, respectively. Temperatures of the inner pipe and the outer pipe in the tested concentric annuli were maintained at $30^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively, during the test and the direction of the rotating magnetic field was a counterclockwise. As a result, the natural convective heat transfer characteristics of the ferrofluid for a concentric annuli were increased with the rise of the revolution and magnetic field strength due to the increased heat dissipation between hot side and cold side of the concentric annuli.
