Exploring the Effects of Reduced Gravitational Field Impacts on Convective Heat Transfer: A Comprehensive Review

This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes. The examination addresses how gravitational forces influence fluid dynamics and temperature distribution, underscoring crucial factors like density variations, buoyancy influences, and the interaction between thermal and gravitational forces. This study seeks to deliver an in-depth understanding of how gravitational instability influences convective heat transfer through the analysis of experimental and numerical research, providing insights into its effects on energy efficiency, climate modeling, and engineering design in the existing literature. The results given in previously published literature highlight the significance of accounting for gravitational influences in the examination of convective systems, setting a foundation for upcoming investigations in this essential domain of thermal dynamics. From the analysis of the previously published work, it is observed that the reduced gravity significantly affects heat transfer by influencing buoyancy-driven flow patterns and thermal stratification in fluids. Further, this study is based on the analysis of the previously published work, which provides significant material to scientists and researchers on the topic of the impact of reduced gravity on heat and fluid flow mechanisms in many scientific and engineering issues.
