Abstract

A numerical analysis of the effect of the Prandtl number on the natural convection in a cold outer tilted square enclosure with an inner hot circular cylinder is presented. Several Prandtl numbers (Pr=0.1, 0.7, 7) are considered, with different angles($0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$) for the enclosure and Rayleigh numbers ($Ra=10^3$, $10^4$, $10^5$). The effect of the Prandtl number on the natural convection is analyzed using isotherms and streamline and surface-averaged Nusselt numbers. The flow and heat transfer characteristics are found to be dependent on the time for $Ra=10^5$ and Pr=0.1 at angles of $0^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$. However, in the other cases, the flow and heat transfer characteristics are independent of the time.The surfaceaveraged Nusselt number increases with an increase in the Prandtl number. As the Prandtl number increases, the Nusselt number becomes larger regardless of the angle for $Ra=10^5$. In particular, the Nusselt number steeply increases when the angle is $45^{\circ}$ for $Ra=10^5$ and Pr=0.1.

본 연구에서는 내부에 고온의 원형 실린더가 위치한 저온의 기울어진 사각 밀폐계에서 Prandtl 수 변화에 따른 밀폐계 내부 자연대류 현상에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. Rayleigh 수가 $10^3$, $10^4$, $10^5$ 그리고 밀폐계의 각도가 $0^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ 인 경우에 대해서 Prandtl 수를 0.1, 0.7, 7 로 변화시키며 Prandtl 수의 영향을 분석하였다. Prandtl 수의 변화에 따른 밀폐계 내부의 자연대류 현상은 실린더 표면과 밀폐계 벽면의 평균 Nusselt 수, 밀폐계 내부의 등온선 및 유선을 바탕으로 분석되었다. Prandtl 수가 0.7, 7 인 경우에는 각도 및 Rayleigh 수에 관계없이 열유동은 정상상태의 특성을 보였지만 Prandtl 수가 0.1 인 경우에는 Rayleigh 수가 $10^5$ 이고 밀폐계의 각도가 $0^{\circ}$ 와 $45^{\circ}$ 일 때 시간에 따라 열유동장이 변하였다. 실린더 표면과 밀폐계 벽면의 평균 Nusselt 수는 Rayleigh 수가 $10^5$ 인 경우, 각도에 관계없이 Prandtl 수가 클수록 증가하였다. 특히 Rayleigh 수가 $10^5$ 이고 Prandtl 수가 0.1 일 때 밀폐계의 각도가 $45^{\circ}$ 인 경우 실린더 표면과 밀폐계 벽면의 평균 Nusselt 수가 크게 증가하였다.
