Numerical investigation of turbulent forced convection flow in a two-dimensional curved surface cavity

A numerical study was carried out to investigate the thermal and flow fields of a two-dimensional vented cavity subjected forced convection turbulent flow. The with three distinct configurations inlet outlet ports having different cases top surfaces, i.e. flat, semi-elliptical semi-circular studied numerically for range Reynolds numbers. objective is effect curved wall surface on heat transfer in ports. various results were presented streamlines fields. variations pressure-drop coefficient, local Nusselt number average also evaluated. show significant dependence exchange pressure drop number, location ports, height surface. rate enhanced by increasing surface, but relatively high-pressure observed given number. On contrary, positioned same axis, displayed an improved performance terms maximum minimum drop.
