Description
Abstract In this work, natural convection heat transfer and fluid flow is reviewed in different
types of enclosures with localized heating, considering the working fluid as a simple fluid or
a nanofluid. Experimental findings are considered in addition to two and three dimensional
numerical studies. The common objective of the reviewed work is to investigate the effects of
type and location of local heat sources as well as the effects of the different configurations of
cavities and boundary conditions on the enclosed fluid flow and heat transfer. Important …
