Abstract
This paper numerically examines the influence of a circular thin baffle on thermosolutal convection in a vertical annular enclosure. The inner and outer cylindrical walls, and the baffle are retained with different temperatures and concentrations, while the upper and lower boundaries are kept at adiabatic and impermeable. The model equations are solved using an implicit finite difference scheme consisting of ADI and SLOR methods. Numerical simulations are performed to understand the size and position effects of the baffle on the thermosolutal convection and are successfully captured through our results. It has been observed that the baffle size and location has very important role in controlling the thermosolutal convective flow and the corresponding heat and mass transport characteristics. Further, our results are in good agreement with the available benchmark results for limiting cases.
