Numerical Study of the Effect of the Location of Baffles on the Flow and Heat Transfer of A Newtonian Fluid in A Ventilated Enclosure

Flow and heat transfer analysis in ventilated cavities is one of the most widely studied problems in thermo-fluids area. Two-dimensional mixed convection in a ventilated rectangular cavity with baffles is studied numerically and the fluid considered in this study is hot air (Pr = 0.71). The horizont...

description Flow and heat transfer analysis in ventilated cavities is one of the most widely studied problems in thermo-fluids area.
