Study on Bifurcation and Dual Solutions in Natural Convection in a Horizontal Annulus with Rotating Inner Cylinder Using Thermal Immersed Boundary-Lattice Boltzmann Method

A numerical investigation has been carried out to understand the mechanism of the rotation effect on bifurcation and dual solutions in natural convection within a horizontal annulus. A thermal immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method was used to resolve the annular flow domain covered by a Cartesi...
