A CFD study in a side heated cavity filled with coarse grained porous media

A CFD study is made to get more insight in the flow, temperature and heat distribution in a side heated cavity filled with coarse grained porous media. This was investigated for 105≤Ra≤107 and 0.01≤Ri≤100. The question is how the solid beads influence the heat transfer. It was found that the spheres dampen the flow, influence the local heat...
