Numerical prediction of heat transfer from heated thin plate in a square cavity by using LBM

In this paper, natural convection heat transfer from heated plate positioned in square cavity vertically and horizontally was studied. Thermal BGK lattice Boltzmann numerical scheme was applied. The simulation was launched for different aspect ratio A=0.4 and 0.6 at Grasshof numbers and . Air was ch...

Description
Summary:In this paper, natural convection heat transfer from heated plate positioned in square cavity vertically and horizontally was studied. Thermal BGK lattice Boltzmann numerical scheme was applied. The simulation was launched for different aspect ratio A=0.4 and 0.6 at Grasshof numbers and . Air was chosen as working fluid (Pr=0.71). Good arrangement was obtained between the present work and pervious approach using finite volume method. It is found that convection upper side of plate is increase as Grasshof number is increased.
