numerical study of double-diffusive natural convective heat transfer in a curved cavity filledwith a porous medium has been carried out in the current study. polar system has beenselected as coordinate system. as a result, all equations have been discredited in r and θdirections. brinkmann extended darcy model has been utilized to express fluid flow inporous matrix in the enclosure. smaller and...

Free convection is widely used in engineering applications, including solar energy, electronic devices, nuclear and heat exchangers. A computational simulation utilizing Ansys Fluent-CFD was employed to examine the natural transfer inside a square cavity filled with pure water saturated metal foam as porous medium (porosity ɛ =0.9). The enclosure's lower wavy wall exhibits high temperature (Th)...

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...

In this paper, the bioconvective flow in a porous square cavity containing oxytactic microorganism in the presence of chemical reaction is investigated. The bioconvection flow and heat transfer in porous media are formulated based on the Darcy model of Boussinesq approximation. The governing partial differential equations are solved using the Galerkin finite element method. The computational nu...

in this paper, least square method (lsm) and differential transformation method (dtm) are used to solve the problem of laminar nanofluid flow in a semi-porous channel in the presence of transverse magnetic field. due to existence some shortcomings in each method, a novel and efficient method named ls-dtm is introduced which omitted those defects and has an excellent agreement with numerical sol...

In this paper, natural convection melting in a square cavity with gradient porous media is numerically studied at pore-scale level by adopting the lattice Boltzmann method. To generate media, Monte Carlo technique based on random sampling principle used. The effects of several factors, such as Rayleigh number, porosity structure, direction, and particle diameters are investigated detail. Based ...

magnetic field effect on unsteady natural convection heat transfer of cu–water nanofluid in a square porous cavity was studied numerically in here. at first, initial temprature of the cavity was and vertical walls were at temprature . suddenly the right wall's tamprature was changed to and the horizontal walls were adiabatic. the effective parameters in this study were ra , ha, and . which appe...
