Convection between Two Vertical Walls

​
volume coefficient of expansion
0.5
fluid kinematic viscosity
0.07
Two parallel walls are maintained at uniform temperatures (a hot temperature,
T
1
, and a cold temperature,
T
2
). You can set the viscosity and volume coefficient of expansion of the fluid that fills the space between the two walls. The steady state velocity profile of the resulting natural convection is displayed.
