- W4380303925 abstract "In the previous Chapters we confined ourselves to the case of forced convection, where the fluid motion is caused by an external cause, such as the movement of one of the fluid boundaries, or the pressure difference induced by a pump or by gravity. We have not considered, so far, the important case of free convectionFree convection, named also natural convection, or buoyancy-driven flows, where the fluid movement is caused by the density differences due to changes of temperature or concentration of the fluid. Free convection is encountered very often in nature, when a solid surface is in contact with a fluid having a different temperature from the surface. For example, when the wind flows past the slopes of a mountain heated by the sun, the air heats up, thus decreasing its density, and consequently it moves upward. This mechanism generates those updrafts that are well known to all birds and, generally, to all those who delight of gliding. Also, as the water at the surface of warm seas evaporates, its salt concentration increases, so that the water becomes heavier, sediments and is then replaced by the lighter water coming from colder seas, thus generating the marine currents. The crucial aspect of free convection is that velocity and temperature (and concentration as well) are tightly coupled to one another. That means that, while in forced convection the velocity field is imposed and can be determined (almost) independently of temperature (or concentration), in free convection the fluid motion is due directly to a temperature difference, so that velocity and temperature must be determined in parallel, thus making the problem much more difficult to solve. This chapter intends to be only a short introduction to the free convection problem, determining in Sect. 19.1 the governing equations and their scaling, and in Sect. 19.2 solving them in one of the very few cases where an exact solution does exist. The boundary layer theory in free convection is then explained in Sects. 19.3 and 19.4, followed by Sect. 19.5, where a few experimental correlations are presented. Finally, in Sect. 19.6, a few examples of flow with phase transition are described, where the density difference between the phases plays obviously a very important role." @default.
