Natural convection in inclined partitioned enclosures (original) (raw)

Abstract

AI

The steady, laminar natural convection of a viscous fluid in an inclined enclosure with partitions is investigated. A temperature gradient is established on opposing walls while the others are adiabatic. The study employs a vorticity-stream function formulation along with a finite volume method for numerical analysis. Results highlight the effects of inclination angle, partition irregularity, and Rayleigh number on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics.
