Abstract

The main objective of our work is to establish the characteristics of heat transfer and improve its assessment methodology with the analysis of various parameters involved quantitatively or qualitatively at optimizing energy efficiency of housing. The physical problem is governed by the equations of continuity, momentum and energy. These governing equations are written in terms of primitive variables and are recast into a general form. Considering the hypothesis of Boussinesq, these equations do not admit analytical solutions, so recourse to numerical methods appears mandatory. We opted for the use of "Runge-Kutta" method. The results obtained are in perfect agreement with other studies and can offer some new perspectives for eventual researches.
