• Comparison of two and three-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection of power-law fluids in cylindrical and annular enclosures

For details on the model and numerical implementation check out the references listed above.

• The .stl files used for creation of the mesh is present in the triSurface folder inside the constant directory
• The mesh was created using blockMeshDict,surfaceFeatureExtractDict and snappyHexMeshDict
