Analysis of Thermosolutal Convection in a Square Cavity Containing Two Heating and Diffusing Square Cylinders
摘要
In this study, double-diffusive natural convection within a square cavity containing two square blocks that serve as sources of both heat and mass transfers is investigated. The analysis was carried out using the multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method. The cavity walls were modeled as insulated and impermeable to mass transfer. Our focus was on examining the effects of the buoyancy ratio (−5 ≤ Br ≤ 5) and the thermal Rayleigh number, 104 ≤ RaT ≤ 106 on the flow, heat, and mass transfer characteristics. The results are presented through streamlines, isotherms, concentration contours, and the average Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, providing a comprehensive view of the system’s behavior.
