Numerical Analysis of Mixed Convection in Lid-driven Cavity Using Non-Newtonian Ferrofluid with Rotating Cylinder Inside
AIP Conference Proceedings(2016)
摘要
Mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure with a rotating cylinder inside has been analyzed using non-Newtonian ferrofluid (Fe3O4-water). Left vertical wall is heated while the right vertical wall is kept cold. Bottom wall and cylinder surface are assumed to be adiabatic. Top wall has a moving lid with a constant velocity U-0. Galerkin method of finite element analysis has been used to solve the governing equations. Numerical accuracy of solution is ensured by the grid independency test. A variety of Richardson number (Ri = 0.1 - 10) at a governing Reynolds number (Re = 100), power law index (n = 0.5 - 1.5), rotational speed (Omega = 0 - 15) and solid volume fraction of ferrous particles (phi = 0 - 0.05) are employed for this present problem. To illustrate flow and thermal field, streamline and isotherms are included. Average Nusselt number plots are shown to show overall heat transfer rate. It is observed that better heat transfer is achieved at higher rotational speed (Omega), Richardson number (Ri) and power law index (n). This paper also concludes significant variation in streamline and isotherm patterns for higher solid volume fraction (phi) of non-Newtonian ferrofluid.
