Free Convective Heat Transfer in a Closed Gap between Concentric Semi-Hemispheres

Free convective heat transfer in the closed gap between concentric semi-hemispheres is quantified by means of a numerical approach based on the volume control method using the SIMPLE algorithm. The average Nusselt number is determined for several configurations obtained by varying the cavity’s aspec...
