Computations are performed to determine the transient three-dimensional heat transfer rates and fluid forces acting on a stream-wise spinning sphere for Reynolds numbers in the range 10⩽Re⩽300 and angular velocities Ωx⩽2. In this Re range, classical flow past a solid sphere develops four different flow regimes, and the effects of particle spin are studied in each regime. Furthermore, the combined effects of particle spin and surface blowing are examined. Sphere spin increases drag in all flow regimes, while lift shows a nonmonotonic behavior. Heat transfer rates are not influenced by spin up to a certain Ωx but increase monotonically thereafter. An interesting feature associated with sphere spin is the development of a special wake regime such that the wake simply spins without temporal variations in its shape. For this flow condition, the magnitudes of the lift, drag, and heat transfer coefficients remain constant in time. Correlations are provided for drag and heat transfer.

The research described here is concerned with natural convection from isothermal cylinders, with a particular focus on the interaction between a pair of vertically aligned cylinders. Prime attention was focused on how the local heat transfer characteristics of the upper cylinder are affected due to buoyancy induced fluid flow from the lower cylinder. Tests were performed using internally heated copper cylinders with an outside diameter 30mm and a vertical separation distance between the cylinders ranging from two to three cylinder diameters. Plume interaction between the heated cylinders was investigated within a Rayleigh number range of 2×106 to 6×106. Spectral analysis of the associated heat transfer interaction is presented showing that interaction between the cylinders causes oscillation of the thermal plume. The effect of this oscillation is considered as a possible enhancement mechanism of the heat transfer performance of the upper cylinder.
