Abstract

MHD mixed convection flow in a lid driven enclosure with a sinusoidal wavy wall and heated circular body located at the center of the enclosure is studied numerically using finite element analysis. The upper wall is moving with a uniform velocity by unity, and other walls are in no slip condition. The enclosure vertical walls are insulated while the heated circular body inside the enclosure is maintained at a uniform temperature higher than the upper wall and lower wavy surface. Calculations are carried out through solving governing equations for different parameters by using finite element method. The investigation is conducted for various values of Richardson number Ri and Prandtl number Pr. The heat transfer characteristics and flow pattern inside the enclosure are presented in the form of streamlines and isothermal contours. Heat transfer rate in terms of the average Nusselt number and average fluid temperature inside the enclosure are presented for different parameters. The results indicate that the average Nusselt number at the heated surface and average temperature of the fluid inside the enclosure are strongly dependent on the configuration of the system under different geometrical and physical conditions.
