Natural convective flow of air inside the cubical cavity is investigated numerically. The temperature of the bottom wall is kept higher than that of top cold wall, and other four walls are assumed to be adiabatic. Attention has been paid to the convective discretization schemes, like upwind, QUICK, total variation diminishing, normalized variable diagram (NVD) schemes that are compared with respect to accuracy. The output is validated with respect to the results available in the literature. A parallel computing message passing interface code is adapted to run the simulations. From the results, it is observed that the NVD scheme gives better results among all the employed convective discretization schemes irrespective of the mesh structure. Thus, in this article, self filtered central differencing which is a family of NVD, is used. From the enormous output data, along with the streamlines, contours of isotherms, the new technique of energy pathlines, and field synergy are used to visualize the fluid flow and heat transfer mechanism arising in the system in the range of Ra from 103 to 106. Free energy streamlines are observed with small Ra, whereas trapped energy streamlines are observed with high Ra. When Ra increases, synergy angle increases and implies that the synergy between the velocity vector and temperature gradient gets reduced and leads to increasing values of average Nusselt number (Nu).  相似文献

In the present study, an attempt is made to explore the flow visualization techniques inside the bottom heated lid–driven square cavity. The governing equations along with boundary conditions are solved numerically. The convection differencing schemes namely, upwind difference, quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinetics, Superbee, and self‐filtered central differencing schemes are discussed and are used to simulate the flow using message passing interface (MPI) code. An attempt has been made to analyze the flow behavior inside the cavity using streamlines, isotherms energy streamlines, and field synergy by varying the Reynolds number (Re) and Richardson number (Ri). The simulated results (100≤ Re ≤ 1000 and 0.001≤ Ri ≤ 10) are validated with previous results in literature. It is observed that the computational cost for all the differencing schemes gets reduced tremendously when the MPI code is implemented. Flow becomes quasi‐two‐dimensional for Ri < 1. Overall, Nusselt number increases mildly with cavity inclination for the forced convection–dominated case (Ri = 0.1) while it increases much more rapidly with inclination for natural convection–dominated case (Ri = 10).  相似文献

In the present study, an attempt is made to explore the flow visualization techniques inside the left‐heated lid‐driven square cavity. The governing equations along with boundary conditions are solved numerically. The simulated results (100 ≤ Re ≤ 1000 and 0.001 ≤ Ri ≤ 10) are validated with previous results in the literature. The convection differencing schemes, namely, UPWIND, QUICK, SUPERBEE, and self‐filtered central differencing are discussed and are used to simulate the flow using MPI code. It is observed that the computational cost for all the differencing schemes get reduced tremendously when the MPI code is implemented. Plots demonstrating the influences of Re and Ri in terms of the contours of the fluid streamlines, isotherms, energy streamlines, and field synergy principle are presented.  相似文献

Analysis of three dimensional natural convective lid‐driven cavity flow is carried out numerically. The top wall is assumed to slide in its own plane at a constant speed. Isothermal temperature is maintained at horizontal walls in which the bottom wall is assumed to be at a higher temperature than the top wall. Governing equations of this problem, expressed in dimensionless form are solved by using the finite volume method. Numerical results are computed for the control parameters arising in the system, namely, the Reynolds number (Re) and Richardson number (Ri) in the range of 100 ≤ Re ≤ 1000 and 0.001 ≤ Ri ≤ 10. The contours of isotherms, streamlines, Vortex corelines, energy pathlines, and field synergy are used to visualize the flow and thermal characteristics. The simulated results are corroborated with those available in the literature. When Re = 100 and 400 with growth of Ri there are \"free\" energy streamlines and they exhibited symmetric nature near the boundaries. The participation of convective thermal energy and kinetic energy is insignificant compared to conductive thermal energy, where the velocity components are modest. When Re = 1000 with increase of Ri, \"trapped\" energy streamlines are detected. Energy streamlines occupy substantial part. This is due to the result of high Re, with increasing Ri, kinetic energy and convective thermal energy get dominated and hence \"trapped\" streamlines formed. As Re increases, synergy angle increases for distinct Ri values. So the synergy between temperature and velocity gets worse. The synergy angle of buoyant‐aiding flow is high while the buoyant‐opposing flow is significantly less than that of forced convection flow when Ri = 1. This gives the relation between temperature field and velocity at buoyant‐aiding flow, which is at the worst situation leading to increasing average Nusselt number.  相似文献

In the present work the field synergy principle is applied to the optimization design of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger with segmental baffles. The field synergy number which is defined as the indicator of the synergy between the velocity field and the heat flow is taken as the objective function. The genetic algorithm is employed to solve the heat exchanger optimization problems with multiple design variables. The field synergy number maximization approach for heat exchanger optimization design is thus formulated. In comparison with the initial design, the optimal design leads to a significant cost cut on the one hand and an improvement of the heat exchanger performance on the other hand. The comparison with the traditional heat exchanger optimization design approach with the total cost as the objective function shows that the field synergy number maximization approach is more advantageous.  相似文献

Natural convection is extensively used in cooling of large scale electrical and electronic equipments. This work involves study of flow and heat transfer characteristics in enclosures with partial openings having an internal heat source at higher Rayleigh number (Rah > 106). It involves the numerical simulation of 2D steady state natural convection in enclosures of different aspect ratios (H/W = 2 and 3) for five Rayleigh numbers (Rah = 107, 108, 109, 1010, and 1011). Two different configurations have been considered based on the number and position of vents—diagonal side (DS) and two inlets one outlet (2I1O). The time dependent nature of the flow is characterized by performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis of temperature and velocity at a characteristic location in the enclosure. The global parameters considered are the mass flow rate driven through the cavity by the heater and the average Nu defined over the heater surface. It is seen that with increase in Rah, flow becomes more fluctuating and moves towards chaotic regime and this transition is quicker at lower H/W. For the given configuration both the global parameters increases with increase in Rah and decrease in H/W.  相似文献

In this study, the effect of ceiling and floor surface temperatures and room dimensions on the Nusselt number over the floor of a floor heating system has been investigated numerically. The variation of the Nusselt number with Rayleigh number has been analyzed under constant wall temperature condition for different ceiling temperatures (10–25 °C) and room dimensions. It has been seen that when the room dimensions and temperature difference between the ceiling and interior air are increased, the Nusselt number over the floor increases as well. The numerical results have been compared with the correlations given in the literature. It has been seen that the correlations available in the literature are valid only for given thermal conditions and room dimensions. The results calculated from the correlations which do not consider the effects of ceiling and floor surface temperatures deviate up to 35% than the results of this numerical study carried out for different ceiling and floor surface temperatures and room dimensions. Therefore, a new correlation for Nusselt number over the floor, which contain the influence of thermal conditions and all of room dimensions must be discovered.  相似文献

Analysis of porous fins for their higher heat transfer in comparison with solid fins with identical volumes has attracted significant attention. In this paper, a two‐dimensional thermal analysis of a porous fin having variable thermal conductivity coefficient is performed using finite difference method. Heat transfer through porous media is simulated using passage velocity from Darcy's model. The thermal conductivity of the solid phase is considered as a linear function of temperature. It is found that the temperature profile of the fin is completely two‐dimensional even for high Rayleigh and Darcy numbers (Ra = 103~104, Da = 0.01), because the temperature changes significantly along the transverse axis especially for lower Rayleigh and Darcy numbers. Also, the effects of important nondimensional parameters such as Rayleigh and Darcy numbers, porosity, Nusselt, thermal conductivity, and aspect ratio on the temperature profile are investigated. The results demonstrate that the temperature distribution is strongly dependent on the Rayleigh and Darcy numbers.  相似文献

In this study, the heat and mass transfer of combined free and forced convection in the horizontal rectangle is explored. The governing equations together with the boundary conditions are solved numerically by using the finite volume method. The innovative idea in this study is to appropriately modify the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations algorithm and thereby, the numerical solutions of the flow variables such as the temperature and the concentration in addition to the components of velocity and the pressure are computed. The Richardson numbers (Ri) for distinct gases and liquids are calculated for different Rayleigh numbers at low (Re = 50) and high (Re = 5000) Reynolds numbers. The dimensionless parameters, such as the Reynolds number (Re), the Prandtl number (Pr), and the Schmidt number (Sc) are appropriately chosen to calculate the Richardson numbers. Consequently, combined free and forced convection effects are analyzed. Furthermore, the heat and mass transfer aspect for distinct gases and liquids is critically examined using empirical correlations. The accuracy and the validation of these results are ensured owing to the solutions obtained from correlations being advised in this study and those are existing in the literature.  相似文献

Nanofluids are considered to be the novel method for heat transfer in heat pipes and heat exchangers. But its application in microlevel cooling systems is still limited because of the paradox that once convection onsets in the base fluid, the effectiveness of nanofluid as a heat transfer medium will be reduced. The onset of convection in the nanofluid occurs only after its onset in the base fluid which is mostly water. Hence, it is vital to estimate the fluid layer thickness of the base fluid at which convection will just onset. The problem is analyzed using the concept of the critical Rayleigh number. The study of velocity and temperature profiles in the fluid gap also gives an indication of convection in the fluid gap.  相似文献

含加热圆管方腔内自然对流的数值研究   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
采用数值计算方法对含不同直径圆管以及相同直径圆管位置不同方腔内的层流自然对流进行了研究。以冷热壁面温度差为基准的瑞利数Rn为10^6,以圆管壁面热流密度为基准的Ra为10^8。计算结果表明,当圆管处于方腔中间位置时,随着圆管直径的增大,圆管表面局部努塞尔数呈减小趋势。当圆管直径不变时,由于在不同位置处浮力作用的强弱不同,随着圆管在方腔内位置的改变,方腔内流场结构和温度场分布也会发生变化。整个计算结果可为工程设计提供参考。  相似文献

In this paper experimental investigations of natural convection heat transfer of air layers in vertical annuli are presented. In these experiments, the surface of the inner cylinder is maintained at a constant heat flux condition and the outer cylinder is cooled in the atmosphere. In order to obtain the convective contribution, the overall heat transfer data are corrected for thermal radiation and axial conduction losses from the end plates in the annuli. Special emphasis, in these investigations, was placed on the high Rayleigh number region where no experimental data are available in the literature. Data were obtained for Rayleigh numbers greater than 109. The radius ratios studied were 2.03 and 3.92, and the aspect ratios studied were 23.94 and 66.67. Heat transfer correlations for average Nusselt numbers were developed for different Rayleigh number regions. For the low Rayleigh number region the results of this paper agree with the correlations reported in the literature. Much needed data and correlations for the high Rayleigh number region are obtained for the first time. These results improve the predictive ability for the heat transfer characteristics in the high Rayleigh number region. ©1999 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 28(1): 50–57, 1999  相似文献

The heat transfer effectiveness of nanofluids is adversely affected by the delay in convection onset. The lesser effectiveness, when compared to that of base fluid, is observed in a range of nanofluid layer thickness. The heat transfer coefficient of water–Al2O3 nanofluid can be enhanced by sustaining the equilibrium between Rayleigh number, temperature, particle volume fraction, and enclosure aspect ratio. In this paper, the specific correlation of fluid layer thickness and the onset of convection, which can significantly dominate the heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids are investigated using the concept of critical Rayleigh number. The water layer thickness for convection onset is first experimentally assessed for different real-life heat flux densities. It is then performed for Al2O3–water nanofluid for varying volume fractions. With the increase in volume fraction even though thermal conductivity increases, the overall heat transfer enhancement of the nanofluid is reduced. Temperature involved (heat flux density), the volume fraction of the nanofluid used, nanofluid layer thickness (space availability for the cooling system), and mass of the nanoparticle influence heat transfer enhancement. A higher volume fraction may not always result in enhancement of heat transfer as far as nanofluids are concerned.  相似文献
