The response of skin friction, wall heat transfer and pressure drop to wall waviness in the presence of buoyancy

Laminar natural convection flow and heat transfer of a viscous incompressible fluid confined between two long vertical wavy walls has been analysed taking the fluid properties constant and variable. In particular, attention is restricted to estimate the effects of viscous dissipation and wall wavine...
