OSTI ID:5838492
A general purpose finite element computer code has been used to analyze the steady state and transient response of a confined fluid that is heated volumetrically. The numerical procedure is demonstrated to be capable of resolving flow fields of considerable complexity without undue computational expense. Results are discussed for a Grashof number range (4.0 x 10/sup 4/ to 4.0 x 10/sup 6/) in which the flow varies from a steady, single cell configuration to a multiple cell configuration that includes a periodic interaction.
