Lattice Boltzmann Analysis of the Heat Transfer in Cubical Enclosures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to study hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of air contended into a differentially heated cubic cavity. Due to their importance in the characterization of heat transfer in this kind of configuration, the effect of some parameters is analyzed. It consists in the Rayleigh number and the aspect ratio. In order to resolve the governing equations, the Lattice-Boltzmann method coupled with finite difference method is used.
