A numerical study of natural convection in a square enclosure with a circular cylinder at different vertical locations

Numerical calculations are carried out for natural convection induced by a temperature difference between a cold outer square enclosure and a hot inner circular cylinder. A two-dimensional solution for unsteady natural convection is obtained, using the immersed boundary method (IBM) to model an inne...
