Chakkingal, M. (author), Schiavo, Sabino (author), Ataei Dadavi, I. (author), Tummers, M.J. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author)We numerically investigate natural convection in a bottom-heated top-cooled cavity, fully and partially filled with adiabatic spheres (with diameter-to-cavity-size ratio d/L=0.2) arranged in a Simple Cubic Packing (SCP) configuration. We study the influence of packing height and location of porous media. We carry out the simulations using...journal article 2020

Chakkingal, M. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author), Ataei Dadavi, I. (author), Tummers, M.J. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author)We report numerical simulations of natural convection and conjugate heat transfer in a differentially heated cubical cavity packed with relatively large hydrogel beads (d/L=0.2) in a Simple Cubic Packing configuration. We study the influence of a spatially non-uniform, sinusoidally varying, wall temperature on the local flow and heat transfer...journal article 2020
