Abstract

Background

This contribution deals with the numerical analysis of transient natural convection of power law fluid, filling a square cavity, in the presence of volumetric heat generation provided by a circular heat conductor solid, placed in the centre of the cavity. The cavity experiences two modes of time-periodic cooling: sinusoidal and triangular.

Methods

The numerical simulation is conducted using the multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method and the boundary conditions at the circular obstacle are treated by coupling the spatial quadratic interpolation to the bounce back condition. The parametric study involves the effect of amplitude (0 ≤ A ≤ 2) and period (0.001 ≤ τ_p ≤ 1) of the time-periodic temperature, oscillation mode (sinusoidal and triangular), Rayleigh number (10³ ≤ Ra ≤ 10⁶), temperature-difference ratio (0 ≤ ΔT* ≤ 40) and power law index (0.7 ≤ n ≤ 1.3).

Significant findings

The results obtained show, on the one hand, that these parameters have a considerable effect on the fluid flow and heat transfer. Furthermore, it is noted that the choice of the cooling mode has an important role in the optimization of heat transfer. On the other hand, The MRT-LBM approach has been validated as effective for addressing such physical problems.
