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...

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...

We investigate the nature of entropy generation for natural convection in a twodimensional square section enclosure vibrating sinusoidally perpendicular to the applied temperature gradient in a zero-gravity field. The enclosure is assumed to fill with porous media. The Darcy momentum equation is used to model the porous media. The full governing differential equations are simplified with the Bo...

In this paper, numerical study of forced convection heat transfer in a square cavity with inlet and outlet slots and hot obstacle with and without porous medium was investigated. The walls of cavity in addition of inlet and outlet ports are thermally insulated and the obstacle is maintained at constant temperature. A lattice Boltzmann model for incompressible flow in porous media and Brinkman F...

The paper provides a numerical investigation of the entropy generation analysis due to natural convection in an inclined square porous cavity. The coupled equations of mass, momentum, energy and species conservation are solved using the Control Volume Finite-Element Method. Effect of medium permeability and inclination angle on entropy generation is analysed. It was found that according to the ...

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 he...
