ConclusionsConclusions
• Mixed convection in an ascending flow in a heated pipe, is a very complex phenomenon, despite its simplicity; Thus requires more research.
• Most of the turbulence models successfully predict the flow field at relatively low heat loading i.e. small Gr/Re^2
• Only very few turbulence models (only Linear k-ε) can predict the Re-laminarization Phenomena.
• There is a close agreement between the results of Code_Saturne and STAR-CD for the tested models.
• The relatively more advanced turbulence models, such as Non-Linear k- of Suga and V2f models are observed to suffer from convergence problems at high Gr/Re^2.
• The few available DNS data are not sufficient to carry out in depth validation of the RANS models, particularly at the maximum heat transfer impairment point.

• Development of Code_Saturne by implementing some advanced wall functions such as Analytical and Numerical Wall Functions.
• Cross examination of Code_Saturne with TEAM and STREAM Codes.
• Testing more complex geometries such as rib roughened surfaces, etc.
