Abstract
The present article aims to extend a previous numerical study on the natural convection process in a square enclosure with a vertical eccentric square heat source (cylinder) [1]. Here, we investigated buoyancy-induced convective flow and heat transfer for horizontal and diagonal eccentric displacement in a square cylinder. Numerical studies are performed for Rayleigh numbers in the range 103–106, using our recently developed flexible forcing IB–thermal lattice Boltzmann method scheme [1]. Detailed analysis of isotherms, streamlines, and Nusselt number distribution as functions of Rayleigh number and eccentricity is provided in this paper.
