Numerical simulation of lid driven flow in a curved corrugated porous cavity filled with CuO-water in the presence of heat generation/absorption

In this article, numerical simulation is performed for mixed convection lid-driven flow of CuO -water nanofluid enclosed in a curved corrugated. Cylindrical obstacles having three different constraints: (adiabatic, cold, and heated) at its surface are considered. Internal heat generation/absorption uniform provided the vertical wall cavity. The bottom insulated, curve surfaces maintained with cold temperature. Mathematically equations developed from physical problems solved through Galerkin weighted residual method FEM formulation. effect various Reynold number ( Re ), Darcy Da solid volume fraction nanoparticles ϕ coefficient Q ) cylindrical obstacle on velocity, Nusselt number, molecular movements structure has been studied. increases high due to lid For generally numbers decrease or remain same an increase porous medium.
