Convection-dominated melting in a rectangular cavity is analyzed numerically with particular attention to the multi-cellular flows in the melt. At the earlier stage of the melting, the melt region is quite similar to a cavity with high aspect rati71, where the multi-cellular natural convection appears. Numerical results show that the formation and evolution of the multiple flow cells in the melt region is approximately similar to t]tat of a single-phase flow in a tall cavity with the same aspect ratio; however, the continuous change of the melt region due to the melting affects the detailed process. Also, numerical aspects for the prediction of the detailed flow structure in the melt are discussed.

두 벽면이 서로 다른 평균 온도와 일정한 위상 차이 하에서 작은 파동수의 정현적인 온도 분포를 갖는 시스템에서의 자연 대류를 조사한다. 벽면 온도 분포의 파동수 k=0.5이고 위상차는 ㄱ/2 이며, 고려하는 유체는 Pr =0.7인 공기이다. 작은 Rayleigh 수의 전도 영역에서는 한 주기에 걸쳐 약간 기울어진 형태의 두 개의 큰 셀이 형성된다. 그러나 Rayleigh 수가 증가하면 열적으로 불안정한 영역에서 여러 개의 셀이 형성되는 다수 셀 유동이 일어난다. 다수 셀 영역에서 과도기적인 기간에서는 일시적으로 공간적인 점대칭성이 깨어지기도 하지만 정상 상태의 유동장은 언제나 대칭성을 만족한다. 유동 형태의 천이가 일어나는 임계 Rayleigh 수 부근에서는 Nusselt 수가 급격하게 증가한다.

The constrained melting inside an isothermally heated horizontal cylinder has been repeatedly investigated in many studies only for the moderate Rayleigh numbers. This study extends the range of Rayleigh numbers to systematically investigate the transition during melting processes, especially focusing on the complex multi-cellular flow pattern and thermal instability. The enthalpy-porosity formulation, with appropriate source terms to account for the phase change, is employed. For low Rayleigh numbers, initially developed single-cell base flow keeps the flow stable. For moderate Rayleigh numbers, even small disturbances in balance between thermal buoyance force and viscous force result in branched flow structure. For high Rayleight numbers, Benard type convection is found to develop within a narrow gap between thee wall and the unmelted solid. The marginal Rayleigh number and the corresponding wave number are in excellent agreement with those from linear stability theory.

Recently, ultra-lightweight materials with open, periodic cell structures take much attention owing to its potential for multi-functionality such as load bearing, thermal dissipation, and actuation. This paper presents experimental results on the hydraulic and heat transfer characteristics for the Wire-woven Bulk Kagome(WBK) composed of aluminum 1100 wires. The overall pressure drop and heat transfer of the WBK specimen have been experimentally investigated under forced air convection condition. The pressure loss and heat transfer performance of the aluminum WBK are compared with other heat dissipation media. It was shown that heat transfer depended on relative density and surface area density. Comparison with metal foams and other heat dissipation media such as packed beds, lattice frame materials, louvered fins, and other materials suggests that the aluminum WBK competes favorably with the best available heat dissipation media in heat transfer performance.
