Horizontal Circular Cylinder

The oscillatory free convection about a horizontal circular cylinder in a Newtonian fluid in the presence of heat generation is investigated numerically by using the finite difference method. The surface temperature of the cylinder oscillates harmonically about the temperature of the surrounding medium. Heat is generated internally within the Newtonian fluid at a rate proportional to a power of the temperature difference. It is found that the presence of heat generation significantly increases the temperature and velocity distribution. The effects of the heat generation parameter and the Prandtl number on the surface rate of heat transfer, in terms of the local Nusselt number, and the surface shear stress, in terms of the local skin friction, are shown graphically from the stagnation point of the circular cylinder.

Heat transfer by free convection from thin elliptic cylinders is predicted, accounting for both the effect of thick boundary layers at low Rayleigh numbers and the influence of turbulence at higher Rayleigh numbers. Isothermal and constant heat flux boundary conditions are treated. The results are compared with experimental data, which are available for the limiting cases of large eccentricity (vertical plate) and small eccentricity (horizontal circular cylinder); the agreement is excellent. Accurate correlation equations, from which the average heat transfer can be calculated, are given.
