What is Buoyant Heat Transport in Fluids Across Tilted Square Cavities Discretely Heated at One Side about?
Laminar natural convection heat transfer inside fluid-filled, tilted square cavities cooled at one side and partially heated at the opposite side, is studied numerically. A computational code based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm is used for the solution of the system of mass, momentum, and energy transfer equations. Simulations are performed for a complete range of heater sizes and locations, Rayleigh numbers based on the side of the cavity from 10 3 to 10 7 , Prandtl numbers from 0.7 to 700, and tilting angles of the enclosure from À75 to þ75 , where negative angles correspond to configurations with the heater facing downwards. It is found that the heat transfer rate increases with increasing the Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers, and the size of the heater. In addition, for negative inclinations of the enclosure the amount of heat exchanged decreases with increasing the tilting angle, while for positive inclinations the heat transfer rate either increases or decreases according as the heater is located toward the top or the bottom of the cavity. Finally, as far as the heater location is specifically concerned, the heat transfer performance has a peak for intermediate positions, the higher
