Natural Convection in a Triangular Enclosure Filled with Porous Media

摘要

A numerical analysis has been performed to investigate the natural convection in a triangular enclosure filled with porous media. The finite difference method is applied to solve the governing equations based on the Darcy model. Solutions of algebraic equations are made by Successive Under Relaxation technique. The effective parameters on flow and temperature fields are: Rayleigh number and Nusselts number. It was found that the fluid flow was depend on Rayleigh Number.
