Abstract

A study was made in [4] of convective flow and heat transfer in a vertical cylindrical vessel with heat supplied to the free surface of the fluid, using the numerical simulation method. The results of this study were obtained for a comparatively short heating time for a fixed ratio of heat fluxes to the side and free surfaces. The present study is a continuation of the one in [4]. By using a more precise numerical simulation method, calculations could be made over a fairly wide range of determining parameters, and results were obtained for both short and long heating times.
