Experimental Study on The Effect of Wind on Heat Losses from a Fully Open Cylindrical Cavity with only Bottom Wall Heated

In order to reveal the law of double-diffusive convection of multi-compound solution in cylindrical cavity, experimental study on solidification of NH4Cl-H2O hypereutectic solution has been performed by using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The influencing factors of flow patterns and intensity are also analyzed. The results show that: 1) There are two approximately symmetric main convection cells in the liquid which are down along the sidewall and up along the center of the cylindrical cavity. Meanwhile, there are also two secondary cells on the bottom corner of cylindrical cavity, which flow in contrary direction to that of the main ones; 2) Due to the release of water during the solidification process, solute layers and diffusive interface are developed in the liquid and will be disappeared in the end; 3) The cooling temperature and the initial concentration have significantly effects on the flow velocity, solute layers and diffusive interface.

We present a theoretical and experimental study of the thermal convection in a fluid-filled, tilted cylindrical cavity and in a fluid-saturated porous medium filling a cylindrical cavity embedded in a solid slab (solid rock) which has a constant vertical temperature gradient far from the cavity. Closed-form, analytical solutions are obtained for the temperature field in the solid and for the velocity, temperature and pressure within the cavity.
