- This paper, published in a high impact journal, provides details of a newly designed and flexible experimental test rig to investigate the low turbulence natural convection flow and heat transfer in a confined space with blockages. Highly accurate ‘benchmark’ experimental data were generated and reported with precise boundary conditions to allow for validation of numerical methodologies. Findings from the investigation highlight that just by modifying the arrangement of blockages, heat transfer to and from an enclosure can be passively controlled which will be valuable by the Built Environment practitioners and will lead to more sustainable energy usage in enclosed space.
