Numerical Investigation Of Viscous Fluid Flow And Heat Transfer In The Closed Configuration Installed With Baffles, Afraz Hussain, Aqsa Afzal, Rashid Mahmood

International Journal of Emerging Multidisciplinaries: Mathematics

In this study, the flow and heat transfer of viscous fluid features inside the closed configuration with a heated baffles are investigated. Due to the non-linearity of the model, the numerical approach is adopted to get the solution. Initially, the governing equations were discretized in the 2D domain using the Finite Element Method (FEM). To improve accuracy, a hybrid mesh is built at a coarse level, then the grid refinement level is increased. The baffle gap (B.g) is varied from 0.2 to 0.6 and three Reynolds numbers are chosen for this investigation: . The Grashof number is fixed in all …
