Numerical calculation of two-dimensional natural convection in isothermal open cavities
Abstract
Numerical computations of free convection flow inside an isothermal open square cavity are presented. The effects of the Grashof number and the inclination of cavity are examined. Unsteady solutions are observed for Grashof numbers larger than 100,000 and a cavity aperture facing upward.
