Abstract


In the present study, an alternative numerical scheme was proposed to predict the thermal fluid flow through porous media in differentially heated walls of a square enclosure. In the present study, the advection phase of the vorticity transport and stream function equations was solved using the cubic interpolation profile scheme while the conventional finite difference technique was applied for the non-advection phase. A low mesh resolution was applied in all the computations. The predicted streamlines, isotherms and the Nusselt number show excellent agreement with the previous studies. This demonstrates the efficiency and multidisciplinary applications of the proposed scheme.
