| Abstract | In this article we study the electro thermal convection in a dielectric liquid layer placed between two electrodes subjected to the simultaneous action of an electric field and a thermal gradient. The full set of equations describing the electro-thermo-convective phenomena is directly solved using a finite volume method. The development of electro convective motion is analysed in detail in four configurations: 1) strong injection from the upper or lower electrode; 2) when the electric potential and heating are applied simultaneously in the same time and in different time. We also study the heat transfer enhancement due to electroconvection. The evolution of the Nusselt number in terms of various non dimensional electrical parameters is given and analyzed. |
