Abstract

In this study, two-dimensional steady-state solutions of buoyancy-driven convection in a water-saturated porous cavity is conducted numerically for a range of different aspect ratios. The left vertical wall is considered into a partially heating location. The Brinkman–Forchheimer extended Darcy model is used to investigate the average heat transfer rate. The governing equations are solved using a finite volume method. The results obtained for various values of parameters are presented graphically in the form of streamlines, isotherms and velocity at mid-plane of the cavity. In addition, numerical results for the average Nusselt number are presented for various parametric conditions.
