Effect of aspect ratio on natural convection in an inclined rectangular enclosure with sinusoidal boundary condition

Natural convection in an oblique porous cavity with non-uniform heating

“…Sinusoidal heating on both side walls was presented by Sivasankaran and Bhuvaneswari [14] and Sivasankaran and Pan [15]. From the results presented, sinusoidal heating on the cavity gives multiple flows in cavity [12][13][14][15] and sinusoidal heating on both side walls provides higher heat transfer rate than sinusoidal heating on one of the side wall [14].…”

“…Cheong et al [12] studied natural convective flow in an inclined rectangular cavity with sinusoidal heating on the left wall. Later, Cheong et al [13] investigated the effect of the side wall inclination of a trapezoidal cavity with sinusoidal heating on the inclined wall.…”

Effect of wall inclination on natural convection in a porous trapezoidal cavity

“…The dimensionless boundary conditions for the problem can be written as; on all boundaries: , 0 (11) where dS is the small element lengths along the inclined left wall.…”

“…Sankar et al [10] studied the effect of partial thermally active side walls on convective flow in a porous cavity and observed that the heat transfer rate approaches a constant value for low values of Darcy number (Da). Cheong et al [11,12] reported study on the effect of cavity inclination for square and rectangular cavities and found that the cavity inclination affect the flow field and temperature distribution in the cavity.…”

Buoyancy enhanced natural convection inside the ventilated square enclosure with a partition and an overhanging transverse baffle

“…The enclosures were considered as closed one [5] or as ventilated [6]. Some authors have studied the effect of aspect ratios of the cavity [7]. Also the type of investigation was numerical or experimental [8] or a combination of both [9].…”
