Study of mixed convection flow of power?law fluids in a skewed lid?driven cavity

This study conducts a numerical simulation of mixed (combined) convective non-Newtonian fluid flow inside two-dimensional cavity (skewed) having moving lid. The upper and bottom extremities the with different temperatures two insulated side walls cause natural convection. Moreover, forced convection is maintained by motion lid constant velocity. governing equations are nondimensionalized appropriate transformations then transformed into curvilinear coordinates. A finite volume procedure collocated grid arrangement used to solve these equations. Comparisons previously reported results carried out, which shows an excellent agreement. Non-Newtonian behaviors such as pseudo-plastic (shear-thinning) dilatant (shear-thickening) considered using power-law model, thus index chosen accordingly. wide range dimensionless parameters affect skewed cavity, including Grashof number ( 1 0 2 ?

It can be concluded that present case sensitive skew-angle well index, maximum occurs fluid.
