The motion of a solid-liquid interface in a finite one-dimensional medium, subject to a fluctuating boundary temperature, is analyzed. The fluctuations are assumed to be periodic. The solution method involves a semi-analytic approach in which, at any given time, the spatial temperature distributions are represented in infinite series. The effect of the solid, liquid Stefan numbers and the unsteady boundary temperature variation is investigated. The results showed a retrograde motion of the solidification front for large liquid Stefan numbers.

A MOVING BOUNDARY-PROBLEM IN A FINITE DOMAIN Dursunkaya, Zafer (ASME International, 1990-03-01) The heat conduction and the moving solid-liquid interface in a finite region is studied numerically. A Fourier series expansion is used in both phases for spatial temperature distribution, and the differential equations are converted to an infinite number of ordinary differential equations in time. These equations are solved iteratively for the interface location as well as for the temperature distribution. The results are compared with existing solutions for low Stefan numbers....
Flow structure inside and around a rectangular array of rigid emerged cylinders located at the sidewall of an open channel Köken, Mete (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2021-01-01) Flow structure inside and around a rectangular array of emerged cylinders located adjacent to the sidewall of an open channel is investigated using eddy-resolving numerical simulations. This configuration is particularly relevant for understanding how patches of aquatic vegetation developing near a river's banks affect flow and transport. The array of width W = 1.6D and length L = 33D-35D (D is the flow depth) contains rigid cylinders. Simulations with incoming, fully developed turbulent flow (channel Reyno...
Thermal convection in the presence of a vertical magnetic field Guray, E.; Tarman, H. I. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-11-01) The interaction between thermal convection and an external uniform magnetic field in the vertical is numerically simulated within a computational domain of a horizontally periodic convective box between upper and lower rigid plates. The numerical technique is based on a spectral element method developed earlier to simulate natural thermal convection. In this work, it is extended to a magnetoconvection problem. Its main features are the use of rescaled Legendre-Lagrangian polynomial interpolants in expanding...
Experimental study on the velocity limits of magnetized rotating plasmas Teodorescu, C.; Clary, R.; Ellis, R. F.; Hassam, A. B.; Lunsford, R.; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Young, W. C. (AIP Publishing, 2008-04-01) An experimental study on the physical limits of the rotation velocity of magnetized plasmas is presented. Experiments are performed in the Maryland Centrifugal Experiment (MCX) [R. F. Ellis , Phys. Plasmas 12, 055704 (2005)], a mirror magnetic field plasma rotating azimuthally. The externally applied parameters that control the plasma characteristics-applied voltage, external magnetic field, and fill pressure-are scanned across the entire available range of values. It is found that the plasma rotation veloc...
Slip-flow heat transfer in microtubes with axial conduction and viscous dissipation - An extended Graetz problem Cetin, Barbaros; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; KAKAÇ, SADIK (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-01) This study is an extension of the Graetz problem to include the rarefaction effect, viscous dissipation term and axial conduction with constant-wall-heat-flux thermal boundary condition. The energy equation is solved analytically by using general eigenfunction expansion. The temperature distribution and the local Nusselt number are determined in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. The effects of the rarefaction, axial conduction and viscous dissipation on the local Nusselt number are discussed in t...
