Abstract.Axisymmetric
steady-state Newtonian natural convection
heat transfer from a near torus, which is heated at a uniform temperature
and located concentrically in a vertical cylindrical cavity
of finite height is analyzed. The cavity wall is kept at a constant uniform temperature.
A spectral finite difference scheme is applied
to get a steady-state solution as an initial and boundary-value problem.
