The streamlines, isotherm contours, yield surfaces, local and average Nusselt numbers were analysed and discussed. It is found that as the aspect ratio of the enclosure increases from 0.5 to 0.9, the average Nusselt number on the surface of the hot cylinder increases as a larger amount of fluid takes part in convection. Moreover, at sufficiently large Bingham numbers, yield stress forces dominate over buoyancy causing the flow to cease and thus the Nusselt number approaches its conduction limit. Finally, the Nusselt number approaches its conduction limit once the maximum Bingham number is reached.}, type={Article}, title={Effect of aspect ratio of enclosure on free convection from horizontal cylinders in Bingham plastic fluids}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/124708/PDF/art19_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cpe.2022.140831}, keywords={Bingham plastic fluids, aspect ratio, Rayleigh number, Nusselt number, natural convection}, }
