Numerical Study of Natural Convection in a Square Porous Cavity Thermally Modulated on Both Side Walls

Abstract

Abstract:The numerical study of natural convection in a square porous cavity saturated by a Newtonian fluid is presented in this study. The vertical walls are subjected to temperatures varying sinusoidally in time and phase opposition while the upper and lower horizontal walls are thermally adiabatic. Darcy model is used, it is also assumed the fluid studied is incompressible and obeys the Boussinesq approximation. The focus is on the effect of the modulation frequency (10 ≤ ω ≤ 100) and the Rayleigh number (10 ≤ Ra ≤ 1000) on the structure of the flow and transfer thermal. The results show that the extremal stream functions (ψ max and ψ min ), the average Nusselt number at the hot (T c ) and cold (T f ) walls respectively Nucmoy and Nufmoy are periodic and periods equal to that excitatory temperatures to the range of parameters considered in this study. The results show also that oscillatory heating causes the appearance of secondary flow, whose amplification depends on the frequency of modulation of the imposed temperature. The results are shown in terms of streamlines and isotherms during a flow cycle.

Numerical Study of 2-D Natural Convection in a Square Porous Cavity: Effect of Three Mode Heating

“…However, very little work is done on natural convection in a cavity filled with a porous medium with boundary conditions thermal periodic in time and using the Darcy model. Some of the documents dealing with this problem are, Saeid [17], Malomar et al [18]. The main objective of the present study is to contribute to the enrichment of the kind of problem by examining the effect of the imposed sinusoidal temperatures parameter (frequency) on the structure of the flow and transfer thermal.…”
