Flow and Heat Transfer in a Closed Rotating Circular Cylinder Heated From Top

Steady laminar centrifugally driven convective heat transfer in a spinning circular cylinder with top wall at higher and bottom and side walls at lower uniform temperatures were considered and the governing equations were solved numerically. Flow field is consist of a single eddy with clockwise rotation for all cases considered. Center of the eddy shifts from a location near the side wall to a location near the top disc as the aspect ratio increases.
