Abstract

Mixed convection inside a square cavity with inlet and outlet ports is numerically simulated considering thermal radiation effect. The non dimensional transfer equations, based on Boussinesq assumption and the radiative heat transfer equation are solved by the finite-volume-method and the TDMA algorithm. Results, presented for a gray fluid and a wide range of dimensionless numbers; Reynolds (Re=10-1000), Richardson (Ri=0-0.01), Boltzmann (Bo=0.1-100), radiation to conduction parameter (Rc=0.1-100), and optical thickness (τ = 0.1-10) show that the radiation significantly affects temperature distribution. Streamlines are also sensitive to radiative parameters (as optical thickness) but less than temperature.
