Abstract

An experimental study has been made of the flow produced by an internal heat source as it moves around a fixed annulus of fluid. The mean surface flow relative to the annulus is found to be in the opposite direction to the movement of the heat source. The variation in its magnitude with changes in the external parameters is investigated. Thermocouple measurements and streak photography are used to examine the interior temperature and flow structure.
