Natural convection is generally a weak mode of heat transfer.                   The thrust of this proposal is to alter the mechanisms by which                 heat is transferred in natural convection in order to enhance                   the rate of heat transfer.  In a flow channel whose walls are                   grooved transverse to the flow direction, the flowing fluid is                  unable to follow the contour of the wall and separates from it.                 The separated flow which, prior to separation, had been                         adjacent to the wall, is called a shear layer.  It is the                       destabilization of the shear layer that enhances the heat                       transfer.  The proposed research will investigate techniques to                 destabilize the shear layer.
