Natural Convection In Triangular Cavity With Partially Insulated Inclined Walls

Abstract

In this research, we study the numerical model for natural convection heat transfer of flow within triangular cavity with partially insulated inclined walls. Boundary conditions; onethird and two-third of both right and left wall lengths are insulated while the rests are heated. The bottom wall is cold isothermal. This research used finite element method to solve and used FlexPDE Student version 6.36s for calculating the numerical solution with Rayleigh number 10²Ra 10⁵ and Prandtl number Pr = 0.7 The numerical solutions are presented in terms of isotherms, streamlines, and heatlines.
