Abstract

Numerical investigations of the laminar mixed convection flows in a rectangular horizontal channel, heated from below, have been performed with water from the complete Navier-Stokes and energy equations for Reynolds number of 250 and Grashof numbers of 0, 62500 and 125000. Results show the formation of the longitudinal mushroom vortices on the bottom plate and the enhancement of the Nusselt number over the forced flow.
