Laminar MIXED Convection IN A DOUBLE LID-Driven Square Cavity Totally FILLED with POROUS Material

A numerical investigation is conducted to study the effect of porous material characteristic on heat and mass simultaneous transport in a lid-driven cavity filled with a fluid saturated porous medium. The left and right vertical walls of the cavity are insulated while both the top and bottom horizontal walls are kept at constant but different temperatures. The top horizontal wall is moving on its own plane at a constant speed while all other walls are fixed. The governing equations are solved using finite volume approach along with the SIMPLE algorithm. Numerical solutions are obtained for a wide range of parameters. The effects of the controlling parameters involved in the heat transfer and mass characteristics are studied in detail.
