Governing equations(mass, momentum and energy) are solved by using finite volume method(FVM) with 3rd order accurate QUICK discretization scheme and SIMPLE algorithm for range of field pertinent parameters such as, Grashof number(10~3≤ Gr ≤ 10~6), Prandtl number(1 ≤ Pr ≤ 100) and power law index(0.5 ≤ n ≤ 1.5). The analysis of momentum and heat transfer characteristics are delineated by evolution of streamlines, isotherms, variation of average Nusselt number value and Colburn factor for natural convection(j_(nH)). A remarkable change is observed on fluid flow and thermal distribution pattern in cavity for both thermal conditions. Nusselt number shows linear variation with Grashof and Prandtl numbers; while rate of heat transfer by convection decreases for power law index value. Higher heat transfer rate can be achieved by using uniform heat flux condition. A Nusselt number correlation is developed for possible utilization in engineering/scientific design purpose.展开更多

Comparisons between natural and ventilated cavities at different measured points for several cavitation numbers were done. It was observed that the dominant fluctuations were concentrated in the frequency range of 0Hz-50Hz for all the cavitation cases, Similar shapes and magnitudes of the frequency spectra were detected for both natural and ventilated cavities. Much larger spectral amplitude in the cavity closure region suggested al fluctuations source. From partial cavitating flow to supercavitating flow, the dominant frequency and the corresponding amplitude decreased with decreasing cavitation number, which meant that cavity became more steady while developing.展开更多
