...Blas Zamora The influence of the thermophysical variable properties on the buoyancy-driven flows of liquid sodium and gallium established in a cylindrical cavity is numerically investigated, for the entire range of Rayleigh number corresponding to practical applications. Axisymmetric turbulent...

...Blas Zamora The influence of the variable properties on the buoyancy-driven flows of liquid sodium established in a square enclosure including two inner heated plates is numerically investigated. Two-dimensional turbulent simulations are obtained, considering uniform wall temperature heating...

... that variable properties have important effects and significant differences occur when different fluids are used, so that dimensionless formulation is not appropriate when dealing with flows of fluids with significant changes in transport properties. Difficulties in comparing numerical solutions with either...

... of fins. The modeling results indicate that an isotropic porous medium model does not accurately predict the measured temperature fields. The variation of material properties due to temperature gradients is found to be large; therefore, variable properties are used in the model. It is also shown...

At the same temperatures, the results that correspond to a fluid with constant properties (dashed lines) have been included for comparison. From Fig. 1 , it is seen that the variation of viscosity...
