This study numerically investigates the two-dimensional natural convection in a square enclosure with an isothermal diamond elliptic array. The effects of horizontally and vertically heated arrays on the flow regime are examined. The study demonstrates that the transition from unsteady state to steady state depends on the variation in the ratio of the elliptical cylinder.
This study numerically investigates the two-dimensional natural convection in a square enclosure with an isothermal diamond elliptic array at Rayleigh numbers of 10(4) <= Ra <= 10(7). Three cases are considered, i.e., case 1 where two pairs of circular heating bodies are used inside the cavity, one is placed on the vertical centerline (VC) of the cavity and the other on the horizontal centerline (HC), case 2 where one pair of horizontal elliptic heating bodies is placed on the VC of the cavity and the other on the HC and case 3 where the horizontal elliptic heating bodies are replaced by vertical elliptic heating bodies. Numerical simulation was carried out based on the mesoscopic approach (LBM). The effects of the horizontally and vertically heated arrays were investigated. We demonstrate that, only when the Rayleigh number increases to Ra = 10(7), the numerical solutions reach an unsteady state for all cases. The transition of the flow regime from the unsteady state to the steady state depends on the variation in the ratio of the elliptical cylinder.
