When using RANS turbulence models the mean profiles of mixed convection can be predicted with accuracy. It is more important to resolve large scale 3D structures instead of using very complex turbulence models, for the prediction of room airflow with floor heating or cooled ceiling.
Improved prediction of heat transfer in horizontal thermally unstably stratified boundary layers by resolution of the large-scale buoyant structures.
