Abstract

A numerical investigation of interactions oflaminar and turbulent natural convection and radiation in a differentially heated square enclosure was performed. Songray gas radiation was analyzed with the P^-approximation method for the radiative transfer equation and the weighted sum of gray gases model, A desirable compatibility was achieved in the resultant formulation for radiative transfer with the governing equations for natural convection flows. The Favre-averaged formulation was employed for analyzing turbulent flows together with a k-e model. In the analysis, a two-dimensional enclosure filled with carbon dioxide gas was considered. Solutions were obtained for a range of Grashof numbers and Prandtl numbers varying from 10 4 to 10 10 Characteristics of flow and temperature fields were compared with predictions in the literature and were found to be in good agreement in general.
