Buoyant cavity
Overview
- Solver: buoyantSimpleFoam
- Investigation into natural convection in a heat cavity
- Experimental case described by Betts and Bokhari 6
- buoyantCavity
The case is described in the following figure
A temperature difference of 19.6K is maintained between the hot and cold; the remaining patches are treated as adiabatic.
Mesh
- 3D structured mesh created using blockMesh
