方腔内耦合传热传质非对称流动数值模拟

Numerical simulation of asymmetric flow of coupled heat and mass transfer in a square cavity

对带有质热源的方腔内流体传热传质进行数值研究。针对不同Ra、Nc、Sr和Df,探究对称方腔内流体传热传质的分岔特性。结果表明:存在临界Rac使流体流动形态发生转变,当Ra<Rac时,流体流线、温度场和浓度场对称分布;当Ra>Rac时,流体发生偏斜。增大浮升力,流体更易发生分岔现象。增强Soret和Dufour效应可增强传热对称性并增大流体发生分岔的临界Rayleigh数。

The heat and mass transfer of fluid in a square cavity with a solutal and thermal source is numerically investigated.For different Rayleigh numbers,buoyancy ratio,Soret and Dufour numbers,the bifurcation characteristics of heat and mass transfer in a symmetrical square cavity are studied systematically.The results show that there is a critical Rac for onset of bifurcation that changes the fluid flow pattern.When Ra<Rac,the streamline,temperature and concentration are symmetrically distributed;when Ra>Rac,the transition from a symmetrical state to a stable asymmetric state is observed.The fluid is more prone to bifurcation with increasing of buoyancy.An increment to the Soret and Dufour effects enhances heat transfer symmetry and increases the critical Rayleigh number for breaking symmetry.
