Abstract

In this paper we describe and compare two unstably stratified turbulent flows in a channel forced by pressure gradient and wall shear, respectively, with the aim of evidencing similarities and differences in the heat transfer and flow dynamics. In both cases we find that the combination of the mean flow with the thermal forcing produces an increase of the friction coefficient and a non–monotonic dependence of the heat transfer on the mean flow strength. This behaviour might be relevant for the prediction of the light–wind conditions in weather forecast or, more in general, for mixed convection applications.
