Abstract

The free convection of a non-Newtonian fluid in an equilateral triangular cavity containing a triangle obstruction in various positions is investigated numerically in this paper. The research is carried out using the finite element method. The sloped side walls are adiabatic, while the bottom is kept heated. At the obstacle, three positions are examined. The effects of different power law indexes on free convection have been investigated. The temperature field, fluid flow, and heat transfer are all highly influenced by the obstacle's location, Rayleigh number, and power law index. The resulting outcomes are confirmed using existing results in the literature and verified using a grid sensitivity analysis. A comparison of the current results to those found in the literature demonstrates the study's dependability and trustworthiness.
