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.

This paper focuses on solving the fluid flow and heat transfer equations inside a two-dimensional square enclosure containing three hot obstacles affected by gravity and magnetic force placed on a ramp using Boltzmann method (LBM) applying multiple relaxation times (MRT). Although, the Lattice Boltzmann with MRT is a complex technique, it is a relatively new, stable, fast and high-accurate one. The main objective of this research was to numerically model the fluid flow and ultimately obtaining the velocity field, flow and temperature contour lines inside a two-dimensional enclosure. The results and their comparisons for different types of heat transfer revealed that free or forced heat transfer has a considerable impact on the heat transfer and stream lines. This can be controlled by modifying the Richardson number. It is revealed that changing the intensity of the magnetic field (Hartman number) has an appreciable effect on the heat transfer.
