...C. Y. Wang The fully developed forced convection with H1 and/or H2 conditions in a semi-elliptic duct is studied. Such ducts model conduits attached to a flat surface and etched microfluidic channels. Due to differences in materials, the duct wall may be highly conductive (H1) or poorly conductive...

...C. Y. Wang Using an efficient Ritz method, the thermoconvective stability of a bottom-heated porous layer in vertical elliptic and semi-elliptic enclosures with adiabatic side walls is studied. The stability mosaics for the critical Rayleigh number and the preferred modes are determined for various...
