INVESTIGATION OF FORCED CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER FROM A BLOCK LOCATED STAGGERED CAVITY WITH PARALLEL AND ANTI-PARALLEL WALL MOTION

ABSTRACT
The investigation reported in this paper is dealt about the steady-state laminar flow and heat transfer of a lid driven staggered cavity with the heated block. Based on the aspect ratio (AR = H/L = 0.5, H/L = 1, H/L = 2) three different block shapes are introduced for numerical experiments. The solid block with no slip and stationary wall condition is considered and it is located at the geometric center of the cavity. The simulations are carried out for Reynolds numbers 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, and 1000 and temperature of the block is 300 K. A clock-wise momentum is converged to the fluid, by the two driving lids on the top and bottom side of the cavity, lids are set into an anti-parallel wall motion. The upper lid moves to the right, while the lower one to the left, both are consider as same velocities. The results are found to be in good agreement with existing published results. It was found that the dynamics and the structure of the primary vortex and the corner vortices were strongly affected by the Reynolds number. The investigation clearly describes that increasing the Reynolds number values the overall drag coefficient decreases, similarly the value of average Nusselt number also increases with an increasing Reynolds number for all the values of different blocks under studied. The study reveals the important flow physics such as flow separation, boundary-layer and recirculation. The results will be beneficial for similar situation occur in many industrial problems.
