Free convection flow of viscous dissipative fluid in a rectangular cavity

الملخص EN

Free convection flow of incompressible viscous fluid with dissipation in a rectangular cavity has been studied, a finite difference technique based on ADI scheme is adopted in the solution of the problem.

The effect of dissipation parameter (e ), which usually appears as a term in the energy equation, has been taken into account.

The results indicated that the effect of dissipation number (e = m 0.004) was very small which is accepted with the fact of neglecting the dissipation function in the energy equation of most convection problems.
