... vortices CVD stagnation flow chemical vapor deposition buoyancy effects The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process is widely used in materials processing technology. Most CVD deposition involves coating a thin film over a given solid material and this has played a vital role in today’s...

... of circumferential buoyancy effects, the measured Nusselt numbers were found to be in good agreement with theoretical results for laminar flow. Buoyancy effects, manifested as substantially higher Nusselt numbers, were seen in experiments carried out at high heat flux. Instruments in the test loop were interfaced...
