A Numerical Study on the Natural Convection in the L-shaped enclosure having a Protrusion

돌출부를 가진 L형 공간 내에서의 자연대류 열전달

The numerical study on the natural convection inside the L-shaped enclosure having a protrusion of which left wall is maintained at $T_c$. Right wall and part of the bottom and 2nd floor are at $T_h$ has been performed numerically for aspect ratio A=1, geometrically different cases and for $Ra=5{\times}10^5{\sim}2{\times}10^6$. As the L-shaped of the enclosure goes thicker horizontally and the smaller 2nd floor's length, the mean Nusselt number at the left cold wall becomes smaller for same Ra, and there is little influence of the increase of Ra on mean Nusselt number.
