Study of linear stability and heat transfer characteristics of water flows with density inversion

Abstract

The Ph D work is concerned with the study of convective flows of water near its density inversion The linear stability and heat transfer characteristics of the water flows are studied The study focuses on the temperature range in which water shows density inversion First the solutions of convection boundary layer flows are obtained using the perturbation method The linear stability analysis of natural and mixed convection boundary layer flows is carried out for temporal and spatial stabili newline newline
