Abstract In this work, natural convection in an adiabatic enclosure with openings induced by two isothermal hot cylinders is approached numerically. The
study covers five different configurations of the enclosure as the number and locations of the inlet and outlet ports are varied for Rayleigh number
(Ra) between 104
and 106
. Additionally, the study also analyzes the effects of varying the horizontal distance (S) between the cylinders along with
their vertical locations () for dimensionless values of 0.4 to 0.3 and -0.2 to 0.2, respectively, at a constant Ra of 106
. The outcomes show that the
locations of the… More >
