Thermal Buoyancy Effects in Rotating Non-Isothermal Flows

The present paper is concerned with the non-isothermal flow mechanisms in rotating systems with emphasis on the rotation-induced thermal buoyancy effects stemming from the coexistence of rotational body forces and the nonuniformity of the fluid temperature field. Non-isothermal flow in rotating duct...
