Flow over a membrane-covered, fluid-filled cavity

Mass transport in a partially covered fluid - filled cavity

A method of computing the concentration field of dissolved material inside an etch-hole is presented. Using a number of assumptions, approximate convection-diffusion equations are formulated, and analytical descriptions for the concentration in different parts of the domain are obtained. By coupling these descriptions the concentration field can be computed. The assumptions and the results are ...

Enhancing the Effective Bandwidth of a Membrane Optic using a Shallow, Fluid-filled Cavity

Thermo-poromechanics of a fluid-filled cavity in a fluid-saturated geomaterial

In this paper, we examine the coupled thermoporomechanical behaviour of a fluid-saturated porous medium of infinite extent bounded internally by a fluid-filled cavity. The mechanical behaviour of the porous skeleton can either be Hookean elastic or elasto-plastic, with a constitutive response corresponding to a modified Cam Clay plasticity model. The fluid within the cavity can be subjected sim...

Mixed convection fluid flow and heat transfer and optimal distribution of discrete heat sources location in a cavity filled with nanofluid

Mixed convection fluid flow and heat transfer of water-Al2O3 nanofluid inside a lid-driven square cavity has been examined numerically in order to find the optimal distribution of discrete heat sources on the wall of a cavity. The effects of different heat source length, Richardson number and Grashof number on optimal heat source location has been investigated. Moreover, the average Nusselt num...

Numerical study of a combined convection flow in a cavity filled with nanofluid considering effects of diameter of nanoparticles and cavity inclination angles

The present paper focuses on problem of mixed convection fluid flow and heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid with temperature and nanoparticles concentration dependent thermal conductivity and effective viscosity inside Lid-driven cavity having a hot rectangular obstacle. The governing equations are discretized using the finite volume method while the SIMPLER algorithm is employed to couple v...
