Abstract A two-dimensional numerical simulation is conducted to study natural convection flow and heat transfer characteristics in a square cavity filled with
a micropolar fluid. The lower and upper walls of the cavity are respectively subject to isothermal heating and cooling while the temperatures of both
vertical sides decrease linearly in the upwards direction. The Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM), with the multi-relaxation time (MRT) scheme for
the collision process, is used to solve the problem with the objective to assess the ability and efficiency of this numerical method to describe the
micropolar fluid behavior under the effect of the imposed thermal boundary… More >
