Abstract The problem of natural convection in rectangular cavities with different aspect ratios has been numerically analyzed in this study. Cavities considered
have their right vertical walls heated and cooled at the opposite with constant temperatures, while horizontal walls are kept adiabatic. The objective of
this study is to ascertain the significant effects of Rayleigh numbers (Ra), Nusselt numbers (Nu) and aspect ratios (AR) on flow and heat transfer in
rectangular cavities. The equations of Navier-Stokes and energy are solved by applying Galerkin weighted residual Finite Element Method. Parametric
calculations are performed for Rayleigh numbers (Ra)… More >
