“…It is worth noting that most of the previous studies on square enclosures were concerned with natural convection. For example, Adjlout et al [12] reported a numerical study of the effect of a hot wavy wall in an inclined differentially heated square cavity. Aich et al [13] analyzed the natural convection in a prismatic enclosure, they indicated that the temperature decreases by increasing Rayleigh number.…”

This paper deals with a numerical study of mixed convection flow and heat transfer inside lid-driven cavity. The main purpose in this present study is to maximize the heat transfer. For that, a new lid-driven cavity with two wavy walls and non-uniform heating on both sidewalls has been proposed. The two horizontal walls are considered isolated, while two variable sinusoidal temperature distributions are imposed to the left and right vertical side walls with different amplitudes and phases. A finite volume method is used to solve numerically the non-dimensional governing equations. The tests were carried out for Richardson numbers which vary from 0.01 to 100, amplitude ratios from 0 to 1, and phase deviations from 0 to , meanwhile the Prandtl number is fixed to Pr = 0.71. The distributions of streamlines, isotherms, and the variations of local and average Nusselt numbers with the variation of Richardson numbers, amplitude ratios and phase deviations are presented and compared with results given in the literature. The comparisons have showed a satisfactory agreement. Furthermore, the present study showed that the wavy walls with variable temperature have strong influence on enhancing heat transfer.

“…Their work was motivated by the need to understand the heat transfer characteristics in glass melting tanks, where a number of burners placed above the glass tank create periodic temperature profiles on the surface of the glass melt. Adjlout et al [2] reported a numerical study of a hot wavy wall in an inclined differentially heated square cavity. Tests, for one and three undulations, were performed for different inclination angles, different amplitudes and Rayleigh numbers.…”

“…Ashjaee et al [4] investigated experimentally and numerically free convection heat transfer from vertical surfaces and stated that numerical results agree well with the experimental data. Adjlout et al [5] studied the effect of hot wavy wall for differentially heat square cavity for different Rayleigh numbers, inclination angles and amplitudes. It was reported that the mean Nusselt number decreases comparing with the square cavity and an increase in the undulation number on the hot wall reduces the heat transfer rate for an inclination angle greater than 75…”

In this study, flow characteristics and natural convection in a cavity with two wavy walls is studied numerically. The wavy walls of the cavity are isothermal and at different temperatures while other straight walls are adiabatic. The fluid considered inside the cavity is air having Prandtl number of 0.71. A parametric study is conducted for various aspect ratios (1 ≤ AR ≤ 5), Rayleigh numbers (10 3 ≤ RaH ≤ 10 6 ) and inclination angles (0 • ≤ θ ≤ 180 • ). Streamlines, isotherms and local and mean Nusselt numbers are presented to show the effect of the investigated parameters on the flow field and heat transfer.
