Mixed convection in a three-dimensional ventilated cavity with two isothermal heating Sections

Abstract

Mixed convection in a three-dimensional ventilated cavity discretely heated has been analyzed numerically by the finite volume method. The results are presented in terms of streamlines, temperature distribution and average Nusselt number; for different combinations of thermal controlling parameters namely, Reynolds and Richardson numbers. The computational results indicate that the heat transfer's rate is strongly affected by the mentioned parameters.
