The mechanisms of the retardation and enhancement of heat transfer in the combined convection region of aiding and opposing flows were investigated both experimentally and analytically. The surface temperature distributions were visualized by a liquid crystal sheet. The results show that low-temperature streaks or spots of large sizes appear in the whole regions of forced, natural, and combined convections, and they exert a significant role a on the heat transfer. Such low-temperature streaks or spots are generated as a result of the penetration of low-temperature fluid lumps into the near wall regions. The surface renewal model is proposed to simulate the heat transport by the above fluid motion. It is found that the model predicted the heat transfer of the combined convection quite satisfactorily.
