Numerical solutions for steady natural convection in a square cavity
Abstract
Numerical solutions have been obtained for steady natural convection in a square cavity. The numerical method used was developed for unsteady incompressible, viscous fluid flow. The similarity parameters were chosen to match those of an international comparison exercise. Results are presented and compared with those obtained by other researchers using different methods.
