Double Diffusive Convection in an Inclined Parallelogrammic Porous Enclosure

This paper reports the numerical investigation of double diffusive natural convection in an inclined parallelogrammic porous enclosure. The two opposing side walls of the enclosure are maintained at uniform, but different temperatures and concentrations, while the top and bottom walls are kept adiabatic and impermeable. Using the Darcy model, the governing equations are solved by a stable and implicit finite difference method. From the numerical simulations, it has been found that the inclination angle of the enclosure has significant influence on convective flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics.
