Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Mixed Convection in an Enclosure Filled with Porous Medium

Abstract

Abstract: Lattice Boltzmann method is adopted to investigate mixed convection in an enclosure filled with porous medium.A heated cylinder (D/L=0.4) is located at center of the enclosure with high temperature.Inlet flow with low temperature is located at lower-left wall of the enclosure and exit is at upper-left wall.Other walls are assumed adiabatic.Influences of Richardson number Ri and Darcy number Da on average Nusselt number Nu around heated cylinder are investigated while Prandtl and Grashof numbers are kept at 0.71 and 1.4×10⁴, respectively.It indicates that Nu decreases with increasing Ri.Influence of Richardson number on Nu is significant as Darcy number is great.At 10^-5≤Da≤10^-2, Nu increases with increasing Darcy number as forced convection dominates flow (Ri≤0.1).As natural convection dominates flow (Ri=10), Nu is not sensitive to Darcy number.
