I. Hosokawa et al., MIXED CONVECTIVE FLOW WITH MASS-TRANSFER IN A HORIZONTAL RECTANGULAR DUCT HEATED FROM BELOW SIMULATED BY THE CONDITIONAL FOURIER SPECTRAL-ANALYSIS, International journal of heat and mass transfer, 36(12), 1993, pp. 3029-3042
With application to a horizontal chemical vapor deposition apparatus i
n mind, mixed convection and mass transfer in a horizontal rectangular
duct heated from below are numerically investigated. The computer sim
ulation is carried out based on the conditional Fourier spectral metho
d recently developed by the authors. Unsteady flow states occurring at
rather high Grashof numbers are highlighted as good conditions for pr
oviding the spanwise uniformities of time-averaged temperature distrib
ution and time-averaged Sherwood number distribution on the substrate
at the duct bottom.
