A numerical study is performed to analyze steady state forced convection fluid flow through a confined porous square cylinder. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model is adopted for the porous region. The finite volume method and the iterative SIMPLE algorithm are used to solve the governing equations. The results obtained are presented for the streamlines, variation of Nusselt number and drag coefficient for the range of conditions as 5 ≤ Re ≤ 40 and 10−2 ≤ Da ≤ 10−6.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
