✦ Synopsis
A numerical investigation of the influence of buoyancy forces and thermal conductivity ratio (kJk r ) on the flow field and heat transfer around circular cylinders is presented. The flow field and energy equations are solved under the conditions of continuity in temperature and heat flux at the fluid-solid interface. The buoyancy forces are taken into account by applying Boussinesq's approximation. Numerical results are given for Reynolds numbers in the range of 5", Re '" 40, buoyancy parameters in the range of -1 '" Gr/Re 2 '" 2 and thermal conductivity ratios in the range of 0 '" kJk r '" CIJ.
