TERM PROJECT III THREE DIMENSIONAL FLOW IN A CUBICAL CAVITY

Introduction The object of this project is to create a cube with linear dimension of L cm and obtain a CFD solution generating a uniform structured mesh of size 30x30x30 in two cases are cavity with a moving wall and thermal cavity. Parameters L = 8 cm V = 4 m/s Case A Top wall of the cavity moves in the x direction with velocity V. The remaining 5 walls are stationary. The driving force of the clockwise motion in the cavity is the moving wall.
Viscosity =0.001 kg/ms Density =1 kg/m3. Area = 0.0064 m2

TH = 365 K

TC = 335 K

Case B
The left (hot) wall of the cavity is kept at a uniform temperature of TH and the right (cold) wall of the cavity is at temperature T L. The remaining 4 walls of the cavity are insulated thermally (adiabatic). The fluid near the hot wall rises upwards as its density decreases by increased temperature. Similarly, the fluid near the cold wall falls down as density decreases by reduced temperature. The driving force of the clockwise motion in the cavity is thermal effects (Buoyancy). Viscosity = 0.000001 kg/ms Density =1 kg/m3. TREF = (TH + TC) / 2 (365 + 335) / 2 = 350 K Area = 0.0064 m2

Calculations Case A ( )

where V is velocity, L is length, is density and is dynamic viscosity. Re is equals to 320 smaller than critical value 5000, and therefore the flow is laminar. Case B
( ) ( ( ) )

where g is gravitational acceleration, =1/ TREF and TREF is the reference temperature. Gr is equals to 430518857 smaller than critical value 109 and therefore the flow is laminar.
