...Ameer Ahamad Nandalur; Sarfaraz Kamangar; Irfan Anjum Badruddin Purpose The purpose of this study was to analyze the heat transfer in a square porous cavity that has a solid block placed at its center. The prime focus of this study is to investigate the effect of size of the square solid block...

... between the solid and fluid materials is investigated for different number of solid blocks. Design/methodology/approach – The dimensionless governing equations are transformed into sets of algebraic equations using finite volume method and momentum equations are solved by the SIMPLE algorithm...

... of the aspect ratios and tilting angles of the body on the heat transfer rates in the channel flow becomes essential. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Numerical simulation of flow in a channel with the presence of solid block is carried out. The block aspect ratio...
