Effect of Fins on the Transition to Oscillating Laminar Natural Convection in an Enclosure

Flow characteristics and evolution of heat transfer are investigated numerically within a differentially heated square cavity in the presence of thin fins which are either insulated or highly conductive and at the base wall temperature. The transition from steady-state to oscillatory and chaotic con...
