Abstract

The paper presents the results of an experimental and numerical study of the structure of a plume formed over a heated disk under conditions of conjugate heat transfer in a range of small and average Grashof numbers. Numerical simulation was performed using the Ansys Fluent code, where the problem of the flow of a compressible gas in conditions of conjugate heat transfer in an unsteady formulation was solved under the assumption of laminar flow regime. One of the main goal of this paper is to compare results of modelling of the plume in assumption of axisymmetric and three-dimensional flow regime. As a result of a comparison of the results of physical and numerical experiments, there is a conclusion about a good qualitative concurrence of the flow structure in a range of a small Grashof numbers.
