Natural convection visualization by heatlines in three types of inclined wavy cavities
filled with Al2O3–water and Ag–water nanofluids and subjected to a discrete isoflux heating from
its left sidewall is investigated numerically in this work. The right sidewall together with remaining
regions in the left sidewall is insulated. The solution is based on the finite volume method. The
upper and lower cavity walls are maintained at a constant cold temperature and follow a profile
of sine wave. Numerical computations are carried out for various values of the solid volume fraction
[u = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2], number of undulations [N =1, 2 and 3], Rayleigh number
[Ra =103–107], the ratio of heating element length to the cavity height [e = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and
1.0], the cavity inclination angle [U = 0, 30, 60 and 90] and the wave amplitude [c = 0.1,
0.15 and 0.2]. The results are presented in terms of heatlines, isotherms, streamlines together with
local and average Nusselt numbers. It is found that the geometry of the wavy cavity has a cursive
role on the flow and thermal fields pattern. The results also explained that streamlines and isotherms
were affected significantly for high Rayleigh number and vertical cavity position
[U = 90]. Also, when the solid volume fractions and wave amplitudes increase, the local Nusselt
number along the heat source increases. Furthermore, velocity profiles increase as [e] increases near
the left sidewall of the cavity while they decrease as [e] increases near the right sidewall of the cavity.
For all three types of horizontal wavy cavities the heat functions increase for both nano and base
fluids when the wave amplitude increases. Finally, results of the present work indicated that both
heatlines and heat functions techniques are applied efficiently to describe the natural convection
heat transfer inside wavy cavities filled with nanofluid
