Abstract

In this paper, a numerical examination used to analyze the flow and heat transfer characteristics inside a double lid-driven cavity underneath buoyancy consequences of thermal diffusion. The lid is due to the movement of the isothermal vertical sidewalls of different constant temperatures, while other walls are kept adiabatic. Also, the upright walls are moving at a constant rate and four different moving wall directions are considered along these walls. Further, the governing equations of the flow and thermal fields are transformed into dimensionless equations and then solved numerically using finite difference method. A contrast of the current learn is additionally carried out with the formerly published works and observed excellent agreement. Moreover, the results from numerical simulations have been presented in the form of velocities and isothermal profiles, shown graphically and discussed for different Reynolds number. Result unveils that, the influence of the development of the velocity profiles in the chamber decreases with the augmentation of Re. Besides, the intensification of Reynolds number ends in forming diminution of thermal boundary layers near the heated wall. In addition, the maximum Average Nusselt number can be obtained when the left lid poignant towards positive direction and the right lid poignant to the same direction.
