摘要
Steady two-dimensional natural convection in an inclined parallel-walled channel was investigated numerically. The full elliptic forms of conservation equations were solved together and the velocity vectors, temperature contours and local and average Nusselt number distribution were obtained. The comparisons of local and average Nusselt number with published experimental and numerical results indicate very good agreement. Results are presented for a single aspect ratio, L/b=24, over the range of Rayleigh number of 3-1000 and angle of inclination 0-90 degrees. The results indicate that the overall channel average Nusselt number is reduced as the inclination angle is increased. Significant reductions in the overall Nusselt number are exhibited at high angle of channel inclination. Copyright (c) 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
