Transient Behaviour of Natural Convection in a Reservoir Model Induced by Surface Heating

We perform detailed numerical simulations of natural convection in a reservoir model induced by surface heating. The transient behaviour of the flow, including streamlines, isotherms, surface velocity profiles, volumetric flow rates, heat transfer rates, and temperature averaged over the local water...
