Flow pattern and heat transfer in a tightly-spaced finned channel

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 ceiling is cooled. The study is conducted at...
