Numerical Study of Double Diffusive Natural Convective Heat and Mass Transfer in an Inclined Rectangular Cavity Filled with Porous Medium
Two-dimensional double-diffusive natural convective heat and mass transfer in an inclined rectangular porous medium have been investigated numerically. Two opposing walls of the cavity are maintained at fixed but different temperatures and concentrations; while the other two walls are adiabatic. The generalized model with the Boussinesq approximation is used to solve the governing equations. The flow is driven by a combined buoyancy effect due to both temperature and concentration variations. A finite volume approach has been used to solve the non-dimensional governing equations and the pressure velocity coupling is treated via the SIMPLER algorithm. The results are presented in streamline, isothermal, iso-concentration, Nusselt and Sherwood contours for different values of the non-dimensional governing parameters. A wide range of non-dimensional parameters have been used including, aspect ratio (2≤A≤5), angle of inclination of the cavity (0≤.≤85), Lewis number (0.1<Le<10), and the buoyancy ratio (-5≤N≤5).
