SCALABLE PARALLEL FINITE ELEMENT COMPUTATIONS IN A MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT: BUOYANCY DRIVEN FLOW

  • Temperature at t = 5 sec, in the plane z = 0.5.
  • Ra = 2500, Tcold = 10, Thot = 20.
  • Box tilted 10 degrees with the vertical axis.
  • In this problem, the hot fluid moves up the left wall, and the cold fluid moves down the right wall.
  • Project Director: Graham F. Carey, CFDLab, UT Austin.
    Computations: G.F. Carey, C. Harle, R. Mclay, A. Bose, B. Davis
