Abstract
A numerical study was performed to analyze the steady natural convection heat transfer in a two-dimensional partially filled rectangular cavity with a uniform heat-generating saturated porous medium. The boundary conditions were: two isothermal walls at different temperatures and two horizontal adiabatic walls. The study covered the range of 103 < Ra < 107 and 10-3 < Da < 10-8. The aspect ratio A was varied from 0.5 to 20, the filling factor F from 0.0 to 1.0, the dimensionless porous layer location Xp from 0.1 to 0.5 (symmetry line), and the asymmetric cooling θh from 0.0 to 0.5, It was found that the flow and temperature fields interact in different ways depending on various parameters (Ra, Da, A, Xp, θh and F).
