A microclimate is a complex of environmental variables that affect plants, including temperature, radiation, humidity, and wind. One of the additional atmospheric parameters that can be relevant in microclimate studies is the condition of atmospheric stability. The Richardson number derived from the temperature gradient and wind speed can determine the inversion interval in the atmosphere. The research was conducted at the Konawe Selatan Climatology Station to describe the condition of atmospheric stability and the convection process by calculating dynamic stability based on wind and temperature data at the level of 2 meters, 4 meters, and 7 meters in March 2021 from automatic tools. Based on observations in Condition 1, the atmosphere was seen in the morning dominated by neutral conditions, unstable in the afternoon, and stable in the afternoon. In condition 2 the atmosphere on a not rainy day and a rainy day in the morning was dominated by neutral conditions, free convection during the day, and forced convection at night. Free convection illustrated that the wind in the observation area was still dominated by monsoons and was still entering the rainy season. Also, forced convection illustrated that there was orographic rain; this was supported by the topography of the observation area, which was close to the hills and the Boroboro Mountains.

The flow over a horizontal isothermally heated plate at Reynolds numbers below that at which hydrodynamic instabilities exist, is characterized by a region of laminar forced convection near the leading edge, followed by the onset of longitudinal vortices and their growth to a finite amplitude and finally a transition to a turbulent flow regime. Results are presented for the temperature profiles, the thermal boundary layer thickness, and the local Nusselt number. They are used to identify the various flow regimes. It was found that the transition from laminar forced convection to turbulent convection was characterized by the parameter Grx/Rex1.5 falling in the range 100 to 300. For values of this parameter greater than 300 the heat transfer rates were independent of Reynolds number and typical of those for turbulent free convection from a horizontal surface.

A numerical investigation was conducted to study the simultaneous effects of free convection and axial conduction on forced-convection heat transfer inside a vertical channel at low Peclet numbers. Insulated entry and exit lengths were provided in order to assess the effect of upstream and downstream energy penetration due to axial conduction. The fluid enters the channel with a parabolic velocity and uniform temperature profiles. A constant-property (except for the buoyancy term), steady-state case was assumed for the analysis. Results were categorized into two main groups, the first being the case where the channel walls were hotter than the entering fluid (heating), and the second being the reverse of the first (cooling). For each group, heat transfer between the fluid and the walls were given as functions of the Grashof, Peclet, and Reynolds numbers.

The present article explores the effects of moving lid on the forced convection flow of micropolar fluid inside a right-angle triangular cavity saturated with porous medium. The base and hypotenuse or inclined sides of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures, while the vertical side of the enclosure is adiabatic and moving with constant velocity in upward or downward direction. The flow equations are simulated by using the robust finite element numerical technique. The pressure term from the momentum equations is eliminated by using the penalty parameter. For a consistent solution, the value of the penalty parameter is selected as 107. The simulations are performed for the cases based on the direction of moving lid. The numerical outcomes are shown in terms of streamlines, temperature contours, and local and average Nusselt numbers for sundry parameters, such as micropolar parameter, Reynolds number, Richardson number, Darcy number, Hartmann number, and Prandtl number. It is observed that the shape of the inner circulating cell is elliptic when the lid is moving in the upward direction and fluid is clear (Newtonian fluid). It is also found that average Nusselt number in both cases increases with increasing Prandtl number, Richardson number, micropolar parameter, and Darcy number, whereas it decreases with increasing Hartmann number. Further, it achieves a maximum when the lid is moving in the downward direction, regardless of the choice of involved parameters. The numerical code is also validated with previous published results. The investigation of the current study is beneficial in porous heat exchangers, construction of triangular-shaped solar collectors, rigid crystal, polymeric fluid transport, etc.

Natural convection in cavities is an interesting subject for many researchers. Especially, in recent years, the number of articles written in this regard has grown enormously. This work provides a review of recent natural convection studies. At first, experimental studies were reviewed and, then, numerical studies were examined. Then, the articles were classified based on effective parameters. In each section, numerical studies were examined the parameters added to the cavity such as magnetic forces, fin, porous media and cavity angles. Moreover, studies on non-rectangular cavities were investigated. Free convection in enclosures depends more on the fluid velocity relative to the forced convection, leading to the opposite effect of some parameters that should essentially enhance rate of heat transfer. Nanoparticle addition, magnetic fields, fins, and porous media may increase forced convection. However, they can reduce free convection due to the reduction in fluid velocity. Thus, these parameters need more precision and sometimes need the optimization of effective parameters.

Understanding the atmospheric stability conditions is important in order to obtain accurate estimates of the vertical wind speed profile. This work compares and evaluates common methods for estimation of atmospheric stability using standard meteorological mast observations. Atmospheric stability distributions from three different met-masts located at two coastal sites are calculated and compared. The atmospheric stability parameter, L is estimated using the bulk Richardson number, the surface-layer Richardson number, and calculated directly from eddy covariance flux measurements. The resulting distributions vary depending on which method is used. The atmospheric stability measurements from two masts located 3 km apart in similar terrain are compared directly. The highest correlation is found for the surface-layer Richardson number method. This method it also less sensitive to variation of measurement heights than the bulk Richardson number method.

Abstract. Momentum and scalar (heat and water vapor) transfer between a walnut canopy and the overlying atmosphere are investigated for two seasonal periods (before and after leaf-out), and for five thermal stability regimes (free and forced convection, near-neutral condition, transition to stable, and stable). Quadrant and octant analyses of momentum and scalar fluxes followed by space-time autocorrelations of observations from the Canopy Horizontal Array Turbulence Study's (CHATS) thirty meter tower help characterize the motions exchanging momentum, heat, and moisture between the canopy layers and aloft. During sufficiently windy conditions, i.e. in forced convection, near-neutral and transition to stable regimes, momentum and scalars are generally transported by sweep and ejection motions associated with the well-known canopy-top "shear-driven" coherent eddy structures. During extreme stability conditions (both unstable and stable), the role of these "shear-driven" structures in transporting scalars decreases, inducing notable dissimilarity between momentum and scalar transport. In unstable conditions, "shear-driven" coherent structures are progressively replaced by "buo-yantly-driven" structures, known as thermal plumes; which appear very efficient at transporting scalars, especially upward thermal plumes above the canopy. Within the canopy, downward thermal plumes become more efficient at transporting scalars than upward thermal plumes if scalar sources are located in the upper canopy. We explain these features by suggesting that: (i) downward plumes within the canopy correspond to large downward plumes coming from above, and (ii) upward plumes within the canopy are local small plumes induced by canopy heat sources where passive scalars are first injected if there sources are at the same location as heat sources. Above the canopy, these small upward thermal plumes aggregate to form larger scale upward thermal plumes. Furthermore, scalar quantities carried by downward plumes are not modified when penetrating the canopy and crossing upper scalar sources. Consequently, scalars appear to be preferentially injected into upward thermal plumes as opposed to in downward thermal plumes. In stable conditions, intermittent downward and upward motions probably related to elevated shear layers are responsible for canopy-top heat and water vapor transport through the initiation of turbulent instabilities, but this transport remains small. During the foliated period, lower-canopy heat and water vapor transport occurs through thermal plumes associated with a subcanopy unstable layer.

This paper aims to renew interest on mixed thermal convection research and to emphasize three issues that arise from the present analysis: (i) a clear definition of the reference temperature in the Boussinesq approximation; (ii) a practical delimitation of the three convective modes, which are the forced convection (FC), mixed convection (MC) and natural (or free) convection (NC); (iii) and, finally, a uniform description of the set FC/MC/NC in the similarity framework. The planar case, for which analytical solutions are available, allows a detailed illustration of the answers here advanced to the above issues.
