Notes:
Three-dimensional natural convection patterns in an enclosure under conditions simulating flow in glass-making furnaces have been calculated using an approximate method in which solutions for the temperature and velocity fields in orthogonal two-dimensional planes are superposed. The computational method was tested by comparison with measurements of the temperatures and velocities in an enclosure heated and cooled from above and with a controlled heat loss from the sides. Good agreement was found between measurements and computations under conditions of interest in glass-making furnaces, wherein the motion in one of the two orthogonal planes is dominant.
