Simulations demonstrate that sinusoidal thermal boundary conditions reduce entropy generation in power-law fluid natural convection relative to uniform heating, with shear-thinning fluids producing stronger buoyancy-driven flow and higher Nusselt numbers.

Effects of Thermal Boundary Conditions on Natural Convection and Entropy Generation in Non-Newtonian Power-Law Fluids
Simulations demonstrate that sinusoidal thermal boundary conditions reduce entropy generation in power-law fluid natural convection relative to uniform heating, with shear-thinning fluids producing stronger buoyancy-driven flow and higher Nusselt numbers.
