Abstract

In this article, we have numerically studied the phenomenon of laminar mixed convection in a ventilated square cavity. The vertical walls of the cavity are subjected to a temperature gradient while the horizontal walls are constrained as adiabatic. We used the finite volume method to discretize the system of non-dimensional equations and a purely implicit scheme for the temporal discretization. The results were presented in the form of hydrodynamic and thermal fields for different values ​​of the Richardson number with the number of Reynolds constant. We found that the increase of the Richardson number with a fixed Reynolds number Re=100 allows us to visualize the evolution of the system and to appreciate the efficiency of the bottom ventilation.
