Numerical study of mixed convection within porous square cavities using Bejan’s heatlines: Effects of thermal aspect ratio and thermal boundary conditions

Numerical Simulation of Natural Convection in a Porous Cavity Filled With Ferrofluid in Presence of Magnetic Source

“…The other dimensionless parameters are in the following ranges: 10 −4 ≤ ≤ 10, 10 ≤ ≤ 50, 10 3 ≤ ≤ 10 5 , 0.04 ≤ ≤ 0.2. Since the inertial effects are not taken into account in this study, these ranges are consistent with the physical aspect as used in the study of Ramakrishna; Basak; Roy and Pop [50]. The validation of the method is shown in Table 2 comparing the average Nusselt number through the heated left wall.…”

Finite element simulations on heatline trajectories for mixed convection in porous square enclosures: Effects of various moving walls

“…The heatline approach has further been used by many researchers to interpret mixed convection heat transport concisely during last decade. A few works on mixed convection within the porous media via the heatline approach are available in the literature [40,41]. Basak et al [40] carried out the heatline based numerical study on mixed convection in a square cavity filled with the fluid saturated porous media for various thermal boundary conditions involving the moving upper wall.…”

“…Basak et al [40] carried out the heatline based numerical study on mixed convection in a square cavity filled with the fluid saturated porous media for various thermal boundary conditions involving the moving upper wall. Ramakrishna et al [41] investigated the heat flow visualization in the porous square cavity for various thermal boundary conditions on the bottom and side walls based on the thermal aspect ratio for the moving top wall. Till date, the efficient heat flow visualization for mixed convection heat transfer in a porous square cavity with various moving walls, using the heatline approach is yet to appear in the literature.…”

Analysis of Entropy Generation During Mixed Convection in Porous Square Cavities: Effect of Thermal Boundary Conditions

“…Extensive research [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] has been done to understand the fluid flow and heat transfer process in closed cavities during mixed convection in the presence of porous media in recent years. A numerical study on laminar mixed convection in a square enclosure filled with water-saturated porous medium was done by Amiri [10].…”

“…Analysis of mixed convection with interplay of various dimensionless numbers for porous media inside a square enclosure with various thermal boundary conditions was done by Basak et al [14] using Galerkin finite element method. In another study, the heatline analysis on mixed convection process for various thermal aspect ratios was studied by Ramakrishna et al [15]. Yang et al [16] investigated transport process inside a rectangular enclosure filled with porous Brinkman-Forchheimer medium.…”
