Natural convection of micropolar fluids in an inclined rectangular enclosure (Q1310193)

This paper presents numerical results for buoyancy driven flow and heat transfer in a two-dimensional, micropolar fluid filled enclosure. A rectangular enclosure is heated and cooled on the end walls while the other two sides are insulated. Parametric heat transfer calculations have been performed by the cubic spline collocation method. A series of Rayleigh numbers and aspect ratios of the enclosure are presented. The effect of inclination and various material parameters on the rate of heat transfer was discussed.
