The Boussinesq approximation is a way to solve nonisothermall flow such as natural convection prob-lems, without having to solve for the full compressible formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations.Natural convection is related with an increasing number of fields including oceanography, meteorol-ogy and geophysical context [1, 2, 4]. Moreover, because of its presence both in nature and engi-neering applications, it has highly taken attention from academic societies. The accurate and efficientnumerical solution of these flows are known to be the core of many applications.In this context, we aimed to study a new, efficient and accurate numerical scheme for a family ofsecond order time stepping methods for the Boussinesq system, by extending an earlier study of [3]for the Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) based on the pioneering work for [5, 6]. The main idea of thisstudy is to incorporate linearizations and stabilization terms such that the discrete curvature solutionsin velocity, temperature and pressure are proportional to this combination. The method requires thesolution of only one linear system per time step. We prove unconditional stability of the method andalso derive a priori error bound. The derived theoretical results are supported by several numericalexperiments which prove the efficiency and the accuracy of the method.

A three dimensional numerical study on natural convection heat transfer from short horizontal rectangular fin array Mobedi, M; Yüncü, Hafit (2003-05-01) Steady state natural convection heat transfer in a longitudinally short rectangular fin array on a horizontal base is numerically investigated. The problem is three dimensional laminar natural convection heat transfer with open boundaries. A finite difference code based on vorticity-vector potential approach is developed to solve the governing equations. The steady behaviour of the flow and temperature distributions is obtained from the solution of transient form of the governing equations. Results are comp...
A Karhunen-Loeve analysis of turbulent thermal convection Tarman, Işık Hakan (1996-01-01) The Karhunen-Loeve (K-L) procedure is applied to a turbulent thermal convection database which is generated numerically through integration of the Boussinesq equation in a periodic box with stress-free boundary conditions using a Fourier collocation spectral method. This procedure generates a complete set of mutually orthogonal functions in terms of which the turbulent flow fluctuation field is represented optimally in the mean square sense. A study is performed ranging from the direct projection of the dat...
An experimental study on the performance of an adsorption cooling system and the numerical analysis of its adsorbent bed Solmuş, İsmail; Yamalı, Cemil; Kaftanoğlu, Bilgin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, firstly, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of water on a natural zeolite at several zeolite temperatures and water vapor pressures has been experimentally determined for adsorption and desorption processes. Additionally, the modified Dubinin-Astakhov adsorption equilibrium model has been fitted to experimental data and separate correlations are obtained for adsorption and desorption processes as well as a single correlation to model both processes. Experimental results show that the maximu...
A pseudospectral analysis of laminar natural convection and heat transfer between two inclined parallel plates Kasapoğlu, Serkan; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) Three dimensional laminar natural convection flow of and heat transfer in incompressible air between two inclined parallel plates are analyzed with the Boussinesq approximation by using spectral methods. The plates are assumed to be infinitely long in streamwise and spanwise directions. For these directions, periodic boundary conditions are used and for the normal direction constant wall temperature and no slip boundary conditions are used. Unsteady Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved using a pseu...
A numerical study of single-phase convective heat transfer in microtubes for slip flow Sun, Wei; Kakac, Sadik; Yazicioglu, Almila G. (2007-11-01) The steady-state convective heat transfer for laminar, two-dimensional, incompressible rarefied gas flow in the thermal entrance region of a tube under constant wall temperature, constant wall heat flux, and linear variation of wall temperature boundary conditions are investigated by the finite-volume finite difference scheme with slip flow and temperature jump conditions. Viscous heating is also included, and the solutions are compared with theoretical results where viscous heating has been neglected. For ...
