In this study, the turbulent buoyancy driven fluid flow and heat transfer in a differentially heated rectangular enclosure filled with water is quantified numerically. The two dimensional governing differential equations are discretized using finite volume method. SIMPLE algorithm employed to obtain stabilized solution for high Rayleigh numbers by computational code written FORTRAN language. A ...

In this article, mixed convection heat transfer of alumina-water nanofluid in an inclined and baffled C-shape enclosure is studied. It is assumed that the flow is laminar and steady. There is no energy production, energy storage and viscous heat dissipation. Furthermore, the nanofluid is considered as a continuous, Newtonian and incompressible fluid. Governing equations are discretized by finit...

The fluid flow and heat transfer in lid-driven enclosures filled with Cu-water nanofluid is numerically investigated. The moving vertical walls of the enclosure  are maintained in a constant temperature, while the horizontal walls are insulated. The hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and SIMPLER algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity field and pressure in the momentum...

Unsteady mixed convection flows in a lid-driven square cavity filled with a fluid-saturated porous medium is investigated numerically. The two vertical walls of the enclosure are insulated while the bottom wall is cooled. The top wall is heated sinusoidally and moving at a constant speed. The governing equations are solved numerically by using finite volume method with SIMPLE algorithm. The res...
