Abstract
Combined forced and natural convection in a bundle of vertical cylinders have been studied numerically with the aid of Riemann geometry. The cylinders heated uniformly are arranged in an equilateral triangular pattern of three bundle spacings S/D = 1.1, 1.5, and 1.9. Numerical calculations are made of the mixed convection of air (Pr = 0.7) in a subchannel of the bundle at ratios of modified Grashof number to Reynolds number Gr*/Re from 1 to 10^5^. The results show that the reverse flows appear along the center line in the subchannel with increasing Gr*/Re. Local Nusselt numbers for the thermally fullyβdeveloped region are well correlated with Gr*/Re. Β© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Experimental investigations have been carried out for combined convective flows of air induced around uniformly heated, horizontal cylinders. Three cases of aiding, opposing, and cross flows were examined. The experiments covered the ranges of the Reynolds and modified Rayleigh numbers of Re d = 50
