Abstract
⺠We study experimentally transitional natural convection flow in a vertical channel. ⺠We focus on the kinematic characteristics of the flow and wall heat transfer rates. ⺠Performed under UHF conditions, the assumption of an intermittent flow is favored. ⺠The flow exhibits a high sensitivity to the ambient conditions. ⺠The identified flow mechanisms suggest a possible control of the wall heat transfer.
