Effects of wall heating on laminar mixed convection in a cylindrical enclosure with a rotating end wall

Steady-state laminar mixed convection in a cylindrical enclosure has been numerically analysed for different values of Reynolds, Richardson and Prandtl numbers given by 500≤Re≤3000, 0≤Ri≤1 and 10≤Pr≤500 respectively. The aspect ratio (i.e. height: radius = AR = H/R) of the cylindrical container is considered to be unity (i.e. AR = H/R = 1). The bottom and top covers of the cylindrical enclosure are kept at different temperatures (TC
