Abstract
The present study was conducted to numerically investigate the transport mechanism of turbulent combined convection between two vertical parallel plates that were uniformly heated. The aiding and opposing flows were simulated by two-equation turbulence models with combined velocity and temperature fields under various Reynolds and Grashof numbers for Pr = 0.71. It was revealed from a series of simulations that there is good correlation between the predicted and the empirical heat transfer ratios. The characteristic behaviors of heat transfer were also analyzed through a simulation of the transport mechanism. The authors confirmed that a two-equation model is adequate to tentatively predict heat transfer in engineering applications.
