A practical application of universal wall scalings is near-wall turbulence modeling. In this paper, we exploit temperatures semi-local scaling [Patel, Boersma, and Pecnik, {Scalar statistics in variable property turbulent channel flows}, Phys. Rev. Fluids, 2017, 2(8), 084604] and derive an eddy conductivity closure for wall-modeled large-eddy simulation of high-speed flows. We show that while the semi-local scaling does not collapse high-speed direct numerical simulation (DNS) data, the resulting eddy conductivity and the wall model work fairly well. The paper attempts to answer the following outstanding question: why the semi-local scaling fails but the resulting eddy conductivity works well. We conduct DNSs of Couette flows at Mach numbers from $M=1.4$ to 6. We add a source term in the energy equation to get a cold, a close-to-adiabatic wall, and a hot wall. Detailed analysis of the flows energy budgets shows that aerodynamic heating is the answer to our question: aerodynamic heating is not accounted for in Patel et al.s semi-local scaling but is modeled in the equilibrium wall model. We incorporate aerodynamic heating in semi-local scaling and show that the new scaling successfully collapses the high-speed DNS data. We also show that incorporating aerodynamic heating or not, the semi-local scaling gives rise to the exact same eddy conductivity, thereby answering the outstanding question.

We investigate the dependency of the magnitude of heat transfer in a convection cell as a function of its inclination by means of experiments and simulations. The study is performed with a working fluid of large Prandtl number, $Pr simeq 480$, and at Rayleigh numbers $Ra simeq 10^{8}$ and $Ra simeq 5 times 10^{8}$ in a quasi-two-dimensional rectangular cell with unit aspect ratio. By changing the inclination angle ($beta$) of the convection cell, the character of the flow can be changed from moderately turbulent, for $beta = 0^o$, to laminar and steady at $beta = 90^o$. The global heat transfer is found to be insensitive to the drastic reduction of turbulent intensity, with maximal relative variations of the order of $20%$ at $Ra simeq 10^{8}$ and $10%$ at $Ra simeq 5 times 10^{8}$, while the Reynolds number, based on the global root-mean- square velocity, is strongly affected with a decay of more than $85%$ occurring in the laminar regime. We show that the intensity of the heat flux in the turbulent regime can be only weakly enhanced by establishing a large scale circulation flow by means of small inclinations. On the other hand, in the laminar regime the heat is transported solely by a slow large scale circulation flow which exhibits large correlations between the velocity and temperature fields. For inclination angles close to the transition regime in-between the turbulent-like and laminar state, a quasi-periodic heat-flow bursting phenomenon is observed.
We develop a two-fluid model (TFM) for simulation of thermal transport coupled to particle migration in flows of non-Brownian suspensions. Specifically, we propose a closure relation for the inter-phase heat transfer coefficient of the TFM as a funct ion of the particle volume fraction, particle diameter, magnitude of the particle phases shear-rate tensor, and the thermal diffusivity of the particles. The effect of shear-induced migration in the particulate phase is captured through the use of state-of-the-art rheological closures. We validate the proposed interphase heat transfer coupling by calibrating it against previous experiments in a Couette cell. We find that, when the shear rate is controlled by the rotation of the inner cylinder, the shear and thermal gradients aid each other to increase the particle migration when temperature difference between the inner and outer walls, $Delta T = T_mathrm{in} - T_mathrm{out} < 0$. Meanwhile, for $Delta T > 0$, the shear and thermal gradients oppose each other, resulting in diminished particle migration, and a more uniform distribution of the particulate phase across the gap. Within the TFM framework, we identify the origin and functional form of a thermo-rheological migration force that rationalizes our observations. We also investigate the interplay of shear and thermal gradients in the presence of recirculating regions in an eccentric Couette cell (with offset axis and rotating inner cylinder). Simulations reveal that the system Nusselt number increases with the eccentricity $E$ for $Delta T > 0$, but a maximum occurs for $Delta T < 0$ at $E = 0.4$. This observation is explained by showing that, for $E>0.4$ and $Delta T < 0$, significant flow recirculation enhances particle inhomogeneity, which in turn reduces heat transfer in the system (compared to $Delta T > 0$).
The vertical heat transfer in Benard-Marangoni convection of a fluid layer with infinite Prandtl number is studied by means of upper bounds on the Nusselt number $Nu$ as a function of the Marangoni number $Ma$. Using the background method for the tem perature field, it has recently been proven by Hagstrom & Doering that $ Nuleq 0.838,Ma^{2/7}$. In this work we extend previous background method analysis to include balance parameters and derive a variational principle for the bound on $Nu$, expressed in terms of a scaled background field, that yields a better bound than Hagstrom & Doerings formulation at a given $Ma$. Using a piecewise-linear, monotonically decreasing profile we then show that $Nu leq 0.803,Ma^{2/7}$, lowering the previous prefactor by 4.2%. However, we also demonstrate that optimisation of the balance parameters does not affect the asymptotic scaling of the optimal bound achievable with Hagstrom & Doerings original formulation. We subsequently utilise convex optimisation to optimise the bound on $Nu$ over all admissible background fields, as well as over two smaller families of profiles constrained by monotonicity and convexity. The results show that $Nu leq O(Ma^{2/7}(ln Ma)^{-1/2})$ when the background field has a non-monotonic boundary layer near the surface, while a power-law bound with exponent 2/7 is optimal within the class of monotonic background fields. Further analysis of our upper-bounding principle reveals the role of non-monotonicity, and how it may be exploited in a rigorous mathematical argument.
This paper presents a technique that collapses existing experimental data of heat transfer in pipe flow of Newtonian and power law fluids into a single master curve. It also discusses the theoretical basis of heat, mass and momentum analogies and the implications of the present analysis to visualisations of turbulence.
Compact and small-scale heat exchangers can handle high heat dissipation rates due to their large surface area to volume ratios. Applications involving high heat dissipation rates include, but are not limited to, compact microelectronic processing un its, high power laser arrays, fuel cells, as well as fission batteries. Low maintenance cost, small size and dimensions, as well as high convective heat transfer coefficients, make micro-scale heat sinks an efficient and reliable cooling solution for applications with high heat dissipation rates. Despite these advantages, the large pressure drop that occurs within micro-scale heat sinks has restricted their utilization. Slip at the walls of microchannels has been reported to reduce friction factor up to 30%, depending on the hydraulic diameter of the microchannel. Numerical investigations are conducted to comprehensively investigate the effect of slip at walls on friction factor and Nusselt number of liquid flows in micro-scale heat sinks. At the same mass flow rate and inlet Reynolds number, obtained results suggest that slip length on the order of 2 microns enhances the overall thermalhydraulic performance of micro heat sinks by almost 6% in comparison with no-slip boundary conditions. 4% increase is observed in channel average Nusselt number while pumping power reduces by 8% in comparison with no-slip boundary condition.
