Özet

A numerical study has been performed to obtain combined convection field in an inclined porous lid-driven enclosures heated from one wall with a non-uniformly heater. The lid moves at constant speed and temperature. Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model was adopted to write governing equations and they solved using finite volume method. A detailed parametric study has been presented for different Reynolds numbers (10 ≥ Re ≥ 1000), Grashof numbers (104 Gr ≥ 105), Darcy numbers (0.01 ≥ Da ≥ 0.1), porosity (0.6 ≥ ε ≥ 0.9) and inclination angle of enclosure (0° φ≥ 180°). It is observed that flow field, temperature distribution and heat transfer are affected by inclination angle of the enclosure. Copyright © 2009, Inderscience Publishers.
