Abstract In this paper DDNC phenomenon in a bottom heated enclosure exposed to mass diffusion from its side walls is investigated numerically. The interplay
between thermal and solutal buoyancy forces on fluid circulation and heat transfer rates is studied in three different enclosures of aspect ratios 0.5, 1.0
and 2.0. Finite element base numerical code has used to solve the governing equations, here velocity and vorticity are taken as primary variables for
flow field. Numerical results are well validated with that of the literature. The relative strength of solutal to thermal buoyancy forces is defined by… More >
