수평격판을 갖는 4각형 밀폐공간내에서 자연대류의 진동유동

Oscillatory Motion of Natural Convective Flow in Partially Divided Square Enclosure

본 연구에서는 Fig.1에 나타낸 정 등의 모델을 사용하여 공간내의 자연대류 유동을 수치적으로 해석하고 실험결과와 비교하여 수평격판에 의해서 발생하는 진동유 동의 특성을 규명하고자 한다. 본 수치해석에서는 물(Pr=4.95)을 내부유체로 하여 Rayleigh수, 공간의 폭에 대한 격판길이(L/W)및 격판의 열전도율의 변화가 자연대류 진동유동에 미치는 영향을 밝히고, 밀폐공간의 경사에 의해 진동유동이 사라지는 각 도, 즉 천이 경사각도를 찾아 내고자 한다. 이러한 유동특성을 파악하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 지배방정식을 Galerkin method를 사용한 2차원 유한요소법(FEM)으로 수치 해석하였다.

An oscillatory motion of the natural convection in a two dimensional, partially divided square enclosure heated from below, and fitted with a partition is investigated numerically. The enclosure was composed of the lower hot and the upper cold horizontal walls and the adiabatic vertical walls, and a partition was situated perpendicularly at the mid-height of the one vertical insulated wall. The governing equations are solved by using the finite element method with Galerkin method. The computations were performed with the variation of the length and the thermal conductivity of the partition, and Rayleigh number based on the temperature difference between horizontal walls and the enclosure height with water(Pr=4.95). also, the effect of the inclination angles was studied for the transition to the oscillating flow. As the results, it was found that the intensity and frequency of oscillatory motion were affected significantly by the Rayleigh number and the length of partition. The effect of oscillatory motion was weaken with the increase of the thermal conductivity of partition. The inclination angle for the transition was raised with the increase of Rayleigh number and the length of partition.
