Dimensionless Correlations for Natural Convection Heat Transfer from an Enclosed Horizontal Heated Plate

Natural convection from a horizontal plate with identically heated top and bottom sides, enclosed in gas- or liquid-filled square cavities cooled at sides, is studied numerically. A computational code based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm for pressure-velocity coupling is used to solve the system of the governing conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy.
