Abstract

This study deals with convective heat transfer in a square cavity with a localized heat source at its center. The form factor of this configuration is (h/H=0.6) which is the ratio between the height of the source and the height of the cavity. The Rayleigh number is Ra=106 that indicated a laminar flow in this cavity. The numerical simulation gives a good result compared to the experimental data, which justifies the choice of our models used in this study. The objective is to make this natural convection a forced convection by the mobility of the upper wall. This made it possible to change the concentration of the state parameters in this cavity. This result can be used to make an orientation of the heat in this cavity. We note the use of four (4) speeds of the mobile wall in order to see the influence of the speed of this north wall on the convection phenomenon.
