The aim of this project is to numerically study laminar mixed convection heat transfer and flow around a 2 x 2 array of square cylinders in a square arrangement in a channel (Re = 10 – 50, Ri = -0.5 – 0.5, Pr = 0.7 and 7.0). A finite volume method Python code that is implemented on a collocated g...
