Mathematical modelling of free convection in a square cavity filled with a bidisperse porous medium for large values of Rayleigh number

Cornelia Revnic, Flavius Pătrulescu

Abstract


A free convection problem for bidisperse porous media is considered. The numerical solutions are obtained using an algorithm based on an adaptive grid. Results for some values of the governing parameters when Rayleigh number is equal to 104 are provided


Keywords


numerical results, free convection, square cavity, bidisperse porous medium, adaptive grid.
