Abstract

Numerical solutions are presented for mixed convection in rotating concentric cylinders with a porous sleeve. The porous sleeve is press-fitted to the inner surface of the outer cylinder. While the inner cylinder is rotating at a constant speed, the outer cylinder remains stationary. The main objective of the present study is to numerically investigate the flow pattern and temperature distribution as affected by the presence of the porous layer, the centrifugal force, and thermal buoyancy. A parametric study has been performed to investigate the effects of Peclet number, Rayleigh number, and Darcy number on the heat transfer results.
