Time-average flows in closed cavity subject to swing oscillations Original Research Article

The paper deals with the investigation of time-average flows in a closed cavity subjected to high frequency swing oscillations. Analysis is based on the governing equations and effective boundary conditions for thermal vibrational convection under non-uniform vibrations obtained by averaging method. Vibrational flows induced by volumetric and boundary-layer-type mechanisms are studied for zero gravity conditions, at different values of oscillation arm length.
