Simultaneous quantitative measurements are made of the velocity fields for two-dimensional natural convection in a rectangular enclosure using PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry). The experiments are performed at a Prandtl number of 6.62, an aspect ratio of 1.0, Rayleigh numbers from $1.294{\times}10^6\;to\;3.8841{\times}10^6$, and angles of inclination of $0^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}\;and\;60^{\circ}$ inside a $30mm{\times}30mm{\times}8mm$ cavity made of an acrylic glass 10mm, with two isothermal copper walls kept at a prescribed temperature. The experimental results agreed very well with the numerical results. It was found that the flow consisted of a large double convection cell at angle of inclination of $60^{\circ}$.

The charateristics of the convective mass transfer in horizontal rectangular enclosure with horizontal concentration gradients are analyzed. The effect of Grashof number(Gr) and aspect ratio(L/H) is investigated numerically using the control-volume method. Numerical results are obtained for Grashof numbers between $10^4$ and $10^6$ aspect ratios from 1 to 100 and results are compared with existing andlytical results. It is found that there exists a well defined aspect ratio for which the mean Sherwood number is maximum and the core flow changes from parallel to non-parallel at $Gr^2{Sc^2}(A^{-3}}{\geq}{10^5}$ and in the Ralongrightarrow0 regime the numerical results agreed very well with correlation derived from analytical results.

In this study, the interior acoustic field of a speaker system with rectangular closed cavity and its effect on the impedance and the sound pressure reponses are investigated by applying the finite element method to the rectangular enclosure. Based on a good agreement with the theoretical and the experimental, it is founded that FEM is useful method for the development of a speaker system generating the diverse mode.

For the purpose of finding out the sound field characteristics in a rectangular cavity, analytical and experimental studies are performed with white noise input. Two-microphone impedance tube method is used to measure the impedances of foamed aluminum. Foamed aluminum is well known metallic porous material which has excellent properties of light weight and high absorbing performance. And predicted impedances of foamed aluminum are compared with measured impedances. The predicted acoustical parameters are applied to the theoretical analysis to predict sound pressure field in the cavity. The measured sound absorption effects are compared with the predicted values for both cases with and without foamed aluminum lining in the cavity of the rectangular enclosure.

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

The influence on natural convection was studied by solving the partial differential equations within a rectangular enclosure which have a cooling strip at the right side wall of the space, a isothermally heated bottom plate and adiabatic two other walls. Computation was carried out for the range of Grashof number from $5*10^3$ to $2.5*10^5$ with Plandtl number of 0.73. The results have been obtained in cases of four aspect ratios and various strip sizes. Temperature and Stream function distributions have been plotted using explicit finite difference method in two dimensional, laminar flow, and also mean Nusselt number and Local Nusselt number have been obtained.

Foamed aluminum is well known metallic porous sound absorption material which has excellent properties of light weight and high absorbing performance. For the purpose of finding out the sound field characteristics within a simple closed cubic enclosure with foamed aluminum, analytic and experimental studies are performed. For the first time, the standing wave apparatus is used to measure absorption coefficient and impedance of the foamed aluminum. Next, the sound effects of absorption material in acoustically loaded rectangular enclosure are identified according as the foamed aluminim is to be or not.

A asic study is performed on two-dimensional natural convective flow and heat transfer in a fluid heated internally within an inclined rectangular enclosures. For Rayleign numbers from 1.0*10$^{4}$to 1.5*10$^{5}$ , aspect ratio of 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2, and inclined angle from 0deg to 90deg, the governing equations were solved numerically and the experiments were performed by MachZehnder interferometer using low salinity water as a test fluid. For aspect ratios adapted in present study, the natural convection occures the most intensive at inclined angle of 0deg. This became weak at inclined angles of 60deg and 30deg in case of aspect ratios of 1/3 and 1/2 respectively. The intensity of flow was roughly in proportion to Rayliegh numbers and in proportion to the forth power of aspect ratios.

Two-dimensional jet flows into a couple of confined rectangular enclosures such as an Ondol flue channel and their flow distributions were analyzed by numerical graphics : rectangular space in one enclosure is vacated and the other has 8 rectangular small posts. Both enclosures have a protruded inlet nozzle and on outlet on its center line. Steady state incompressible laminar viscous flow was assumed. The primitive forms of Navier-Stokes equations and continuity equation in a cartesian coordinate system were solved numerically by the Marker and Cell method for Reynolds numbers of 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40. From the numerical graphics it was found that the flow regions in both enclosures were devided into tow parts ; one part was the jet flow localized in a narrow center region of the enclosure and the other part was the very slow recirculating flow occupying the rest of the flow region in the enclosures. However there were a little differences in the shapes of jet flow in both enclosures for Reynolds numbers of 5 and 10 and also in the shapes of recirculating flows in both enclosures for all Reynolds number. Also it was found that waving flow appeared right before the outlet at Reynolds number of 20 and more.

This study evaluated the effect of aspect ratio of an enclosure with a heated inner circular cylinder on three-dimensional natural convection. The immersed boundary method was used to model the inner circular cylinder based on the finite volume method. The Rayleigh number was varied between $10^5$ and $10^6$, and the Prandtl number was maintained at 0.7. The aspect ratio of the three-dimensional enclosure was changed in steps of 1 within a range of 1-4 by increasing the width of the enclosure. In this study, the flow and thermal fields in the enclosure reached the steady state, and showed a mirror-symmetric pattern with respect to the center plane (x=0). In addition, the surface-averaged Nusselt number of the inner circular cylinder increased, while the total surface-averaged Nusselt number of the enclosure walls decreased with increase in the aspect ratio of the enclosure.
