Abstract

Natural convection in cavities and layers has many applications. These applications range from heat transfer in refrigeration chambers, solar chimneys, and ceiling cooling systems to passive safety systems for nuclear reactor cooling and thermal energy storage with phase change materials. The goal of this chapter is to give an overview of some classical results on natural convection in cavities and layers as well as to introduce some emerging topics that present recent extensions of natural convection models, such as bio-thermal convection, nanofluidic bioconvection, and bioconvective sedimentation. The latter topics manifest growing interest of the research community in bio-related issues and show some areas in which classical thermofluid researchers can contribute to geophysics, nanofluidics, and biomechanics. Interdisciplinary issues that are relevant to these latter topics range from geophysical applications (such as spring contamination) and microfluidics (such as leftward flow in a nodal cavity that determines left-right symmetry breaking in a developing embryo) to zoological fluid dynamics (rotation of pond snail embryos to improve their oxygen supply) and biomimetic devices (e.g., research on Janus particles).
