Abstract In this work, attempt is made to investigate the effect of cylindrical arrangement on the thermal and flow fields within the mixed convective regime for
different values of Reynolds number within the study zone. Constructal design was used to design the flow geometric. Two-dimensional unsteady
laminar flow equations with buoyancy force were solved numerically using finite element technique implemented on ANSYS FLUENT software. The
study showed an optimised arrangement of 50% difference in coefficient of drag and 10% difference in Nusselt number within the geometrical
arrangement variation. The effect of geometric arrangement is pronounced at low Ri than at high… More >
