Flow patterns and heat transfer enhancement in low-reynolds-rayleigh-number channel flow

Experiments and numerical simulations have been carried out to investigate the buoyancy-induced flow patterns and heat transfer characteristics of airflow through a horizontal rectangular channel in which the floor and the two sidewalls are heated and the celling is cooled.
