Abstract

In this paper, the natural convection heat transfer and fluid flow inside a square cavity having two wavy walls has been numerically investigated. The cavity is filled with a porous medium. The two wavy vertical walls are maintained at different isothermal temperatures while the horizontal walls are kept insulated. A general non-orthogonal body-fitted coordinates system was used to transfer the considered physical space in to a computational one. The governing stream function equation was solved by using an iteration method with SOR while the energy equation with an alternate difference implicit scheme(ADI).The study was performed for Rayleigh numbers up to 1000. The effect of amplitude, Rayleigh number and number of wavy walls undulations on the flow and thermal field was studied. The obtained results showed that the number of wavy walls undulations has a significant effect on heat transfer and fluid flow. Also the results indicated that the rate of heat transfer increases as Rayleigh number increases and decreases with the increase of amplitude.
