...Blas Zamora The influence of the thermophysical variable properties on the buoyancy-driven flows of liquid sodium and gallium established in a cylindrical cavity is numerically investigated, for the entire range of Rayleigh number corresponding to practical applications. Axisymmetric turbulent...

...Blas Zamora The influence of the variable properties on the buoyancy-driven flows of liquid sodium established in a square enclosure including two inner heated plates is numerically investigated. Two-dimensional turbulent simulations are obtained, considering uniform wall temperature heating...

... Turbulent flow and heat transfer of air with variable properties in a set of regular polygonal ducts and circular tube have been numerically simulated. All the ducts have the same hydraulic diameter as their characteristic lengths in the Reynolds number. The flow is modeled as three-dimensional (3D...

... that variable properties have important effects and significant differences occur when different fluids are used, so that dimensionless formulation is not appropriate when dealing with flows of fluids with significant changes in transport properties. Difficulties in comparing numerical solutions with either...

... = − 0.5 . In this paper, the effects of variable properties in combination with the influences of uniform suction/blowing, uniform vertical magnetic field, Hall current, viscous dissipation, and Joule heating on the three-dimensional steady MHD...

... of fins. The modeling results indicate that an isotropic porous medium model does not accurately predict the measured temperature fields. The variation of material properties due to temperature gradients is found to be large; therefore, variable properties are used in the model. It is also shown...
