Effects of thermal stratification on natural convection in a symmetrically heated channel: Comparison of characteristic quantities between air and water

We present in this paper a numerical investigation on pure convection flow inside a vertical channel heated at symmetrically uniform heat flux and contained in an enclosure. This study aims to investigate how far we can use water to predict natural convection in an air filled channel especially in p...
