Numerical analysis of the heat transfer coefficients in laminar free convection

Many authors have made analysis of cavities or ventilated fa? ades under buoyant flows. However they are all limited to laminar symmetric boundary conditions. Within this research a methodology based on

Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) CFD simulations is used over laminar and asymmetric flows. The main scope is to obtain reliable correlations for Nu and for the mass flow rate.
