A Numerical Study of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Carbon Dioxide Enclosures on Mars

In order to support the future thermal control and energy conservation design for the Mars rover, numerical studies on natural convection in CO2 enclosures on Mars’ surface were conducted for both horizontal and vertical enclosures. The parameters are as follows: the atmospheric pressure was 1000 Pa...
