C. Nouar et al., STUDY OF COOLING WITH SOLIDIFICATION OF F LOWING PSEUDOPLASTIC THERMODEPENDENT FLUID IN A DUCT, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 323(3), 1996, pp. 141-152
This paper presents a numerical investigation of cooling with solidifi
cation for thermodependent pseudoplastic fluid, flowing in a horizonta
l duct subjected to uniform external convection. We are especially int
erested in (i) the liquid-solidification free length; (ii) the evoluti
on of the axial velocity profile; (iii) the evolution of the local Nus
selt number. The temperature-dependent effects of the fluid are highli
ghted.
