Summary

A numerical simulation of two-dimensional time-dependent natural convection is performed for a rectangular cavity (of aspect ratio A=4) filled with low-Prandtl-number (Pr=0.0 and 0.015) fluids. The numerical methods adopted are the Galerkin finite element method with high-order finite elements for space and a two-step semi-implicit first-order time integration method. Computations are performed for various Grashof number (Gr=10000~40000), and with two kinds of boundary conditions (rigid and stress-free on the top wall).

All the calculations were carried out with an engineering work station (SUN-4).
