Abstract Possible natural transport mechanisms in cubical and shallow cavities with different heating conditions (from below or from the side) are investigated by means of numerical solution of the non-linear model equations and multiprocessor computations. Attention is focused on a variety of three-dimensional steady effects that can arise in such configurations in the case of low-Pr liquids (silicon melt) even for relatively small values of the temperature gradient due to localized boundary effects and/or true instabilities of the flow. Such aspects are still poorly known or completely ignored owing to the fact that most of the More >
