    Abstract A numerical analysis of laminar natural convection in a quadrantal cavity filled with water having variable length heaters attached on the adjacent walls have been made to examine heat and fluid flow. Numerical solutions are obtained using a commercial computational fluid dynamics package, FLUENT, using the finite volume method. Effects of the Rayleigh number, Ra, on the Nusselt number, Nu, as well as velocity and temperature fields are investigated for the range of Ra from 103 to 107 . Computations were carried out for the non-dimensional heater lengths on the vertical wall (m=0.2, 0.4 and 0.6) More >
