Simulation of velocity and temperature fields

Abstract EN

In this work, a numerical method is developed for solving the unsteady Navier- Stokes and energy equations in a two-dimensional passive heating Trombe wall system.

A parallel computer code that can be run efficiently on multicore PCs or networked workstations is developed for calculating the velocity and temperature fields in the whole domain of the system.

The developed code is validated using data from the literature.

Results are presented for the time response of a typical classical Trombe wall system to transient heating.
