Summary

The effects of the width of a rectangular obstacle above an upward-facing horizontal surface on natural convection were investigated both numerically and experimentally. The horizontal surface was heated at a uniform temperature with a strip heat source, while the downward-facing surface of the obstacle was kept in either an adiabatic or a uniform temperature condition. Typical flow patterns are presented in detail and discussed in connection with the heat-transfer characteristics.
