Abstract

The present paper presents a numerical study of mixed convection coupled with volumetric radiation in a vertical channel. The geometry of the physical model consists of two isothermal plates. The governing equations of the problem are solved using a hybrid scheme of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and finite-difference method (FDM). The main objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the Richardson number (Ri) and the emissivity of the walls (εi) on the heat transfer, on the flow, and on the temperature distribution. Results show that Richardson number and emissivity have a significant effect on heat transfer and air flow.
