This number determines the relative importance of forced and natural convection. The free convection dominates over the forced convection when Ri > 1, and the forced convection dominates when Ri < 1.
Gupta [1] first studied transient free convection of an electrically conducting fluid from a vertical plate in the presence of magnetic field.
Subsequently, there was a transition period where conduction and convection occurred simultaneously.
Hurle and Jakeman [15] demonstrated the Soret-driven thermosolutal convection both theoretically and experimentally using a water-methanol mixture.
[3] used heatline concept in their study to visualize the heat path of both of natural and Marangoni convection. They concluded that the heat transfer rate for any fluid type increases at the hot wall and decreases at the cold wall with increasing cooling intensity.
