Mixed Convection Heat Transfer

In this paper, the numerical simulations of laminar mixed convection heat transfer from row of three isothermal square cylinders placed in side-by-side arrangement are carried out to understand the behavior of fluid flow around those cylinders under gradual effect of thermal buoyancy and its effect on the evacuation of heat energy. The numerical results are presented and discussed for the range of these conditions: Re = 10 to 40, Ri = 0 to 2 at fixed value of Prandtl number of Pr = 1 and at fixed geometrical configuration. In order to analyze the effect of thermal buoyancy on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics the main results are illustrated in terms of streamline and isotherm contours. The total drag coefficient as well as average Nusselt number of each cylinder are also computed to determine exactly the effect of buoyancy strength on hydrodynamic force and heat transfer evacuation of each cylinder.
