چکیده مقاله:

In present paper, a numerical analysis for a rectangular cavity filled with a anisotropic porous media has been studied. It is assumed that the horizontal walls are adiabatic and impermeable, while the side walls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures and concentrations. The buoyancy force that induced the fluid motion are assumed to be cooperative. In the two extreme cases of heat-driven (N  1) and solute-driven (N  1) natural convection, scale analysis is applied to predict the order of magnitudes involved in the boundary layer regime. Especially, the effects of anisotropic properties on heat and mass transfer have been considered. The variation of Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for values of permeability ratio for a wide range of thermal Rayleigh number, buoyancy ratio, and Lewis number are presented. It is demonstrated that the anisotropic properties of the porous medium considerably modify the heat and mass transfer rates from that expected under isotropic conditions.

Numerical Study of Natural Convection in a Square Cavity Filled with a Porous Medium Saturated with Nanofluid

Steady state natural convection of Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a square cavity filled with a porous medium is investigated numerically. The temperatures of the two side walls of the cavity are maintained at TH and TC, where TC has been considered as the reference condition. The top and the bottom horizontal walls have been considered to be insulated i.e., non-conducting and impermeable to mass...

Transient mixed convection in a channel with an open cavity filled with porous media

In this work transient mixed convection in a porous medium in a horizontal channel with a open cavity below is studied numerically. The cavity presents a heated wall at uniform heat flux and the other walls of the cavity and the channel are assumed adiabatic. Air flows through the horizontal channel. The heated wall of the cavity experiences a uniform heat flux in such a way that the forced flo...
