Cubical cavities of various sizes with three different thermal configurations were considered, where two opposite vertical walls are isothermal and the other walls are either adiabatic or conducting (with linear temperature variation). The numerical simulations were performed for air and gases with Prandtl number 0.71 under the influence of variable Rayleigh numbers covering the range 10 3-10 7. The effects of the three thermal configurations in terms of velocities and temperatures were investigated for both steady and unsteady flow regimes. Additionally, the magnitudes of local and average Nusselt numbers in each direction of the cubical cavity were scrutinized. Using conducting walls, the heat transfer analysis in different directions divulged that the heat flow through the top/bottom walls surpasses 1/3 of the total heat flow of the cubical cavity. Overall, the collection of numerical results demonstrates good agreement when compared with experimental-based and numerical-based publications.

Para essa finalidade foi utilizado o software livre OpenFOAM, o escoamento foi modelado matematicamente com as equacoes de conservacao de massa, quantidade de movimento e o modelo de viscosidade de Power Law. O modelo numerico foi resolvido utilizando o metodo dos volumes finitos. Foram realizadas duas simulacoes variando o indice de Power Law. Foi concluido que na secao de contracao a queda de pressao do fluido com indice de Power Law maior e menos significativa e na regiao a jusante da contracao a queda de pressao do fluido com indice de Power Law maior e mais significativa.

Results show that when the spring forces are weaker than the fluid drag force, the springs stretch freely and the cylinder motion is the direct result of the fluid dynamics action. For higher values of spring forces, the cylinder motion reaches a maximum displacement, and the spring forces induce the cylinder to an oscillatory movement damped by the fluid drag forces. Subsequently the amplitude of the displacement decreases. The cylinder motion is restricted within the mainstream fluid flow, where the maximum displacement reduces as the Reynolds number increases.

The method is a computational cheap alternative to represent the boundaries of a geometrically complex body, while using a cartesian mesh, by adding a force term in the momentum equation. The advantage of this is that bodies of any arbitrary shape can be added without grid restructuring, a procedure which is often time-consuming. Furthermore, multiple bodies may be simulated, and relative motion of those bodies may be accomplished at reasonable computational cost. The numerical platform in development has a parallel distributed-memory implementation to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. The Finite Volume Method is used in the spatial discretization where the diffusive terms are approximated by the central difference method. The temporal discretization is accomplished using the Adams-Bashforth method. Both temporal and spatial discretizations are second-order accurate. The Velocity-pressure coupli...
