Numerical analysis of effects of fins and conductive walls on heat transfer in side heated cavities — Onset of three-Dimensional phenomena in natural convection

In the present study, we analyse individual and combined effects of conductive horizontal walls and conductive fins on the natural convection of air in side heated cavities (SHC). The flow and heat transfer are studied for Rayleigh numbers in the range of 10⁴−−10⁹: Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is conducted for the...

Effects of electrically conductive walls on turbulent magnetohydrodynamic flow in a continuous casting mold

In the present study, we have performed a series of numerical simulations of the turbulent liquid metal flow in a laboratory-scale setup of the continuous casting. The liquid metal flow was subjected to an external non-uniform magnetic field reproducing a realistic electromagnetic brake (EMBr) effect. The focus of this research was on the...
