Characteristic Study of Combined effects of Dufour and Coriolis Force on Free Convection in a Rectangular Cavity with Isotropic and Anisotropic Porous Media

Authors(3) :-Sudhir Patel, Dinesh P A, Suma S P

This study investigates the effects of dufour and coriolis force on classic Rayleigh -B?nard problem for an laminar, viscous, unsteady incompressible fluid flow heated from below is extended to 3-dimesional convection in a finite geometry with isotropic and anisotropic porous media rotating with constant angular velocity. For the given physical set-up, g partial differential equations of the physical configuration are transformed to a set of non-dimensional ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. This demands to apply Fourier series method to study the characteristic of velocity, temperature and concentration for the effect of Taylors number, Rayleigh number, Hartmann’s number and Prandtl number for both anisotropic and isotropic porous media. The results of steam function and isotherms on various parameters have been discussed and found to be good agreement for the physical system.)
