摘要:It is studied in the present work the natural convection of the air (Pr = 0.7), in a rectangular cavity in order to evaluate the heat gain of the domain. It is considered a rectangular cavity whose upper surface is kept at a cold isothermal temperature and the remaining walls at constant convection. To discretize the computational domain, the Galerkin finite element method is applied. The flow is considered to be two-dimensional, turbulent, incompressible, and unsteady. In the turbulence model, it is implemented the large eddy simulation (LES) with two sub-grid scale models: vorticity transfer theory (VTT) and secondorder structure-function (F2). The streamfunction ψ, the temperature θ, and the velocity vectors are obtained. The average Nusselt numbers Num are also calculated on the vertical surfaces as a function of some geometrical and physical parameters.
