Opposing Mixed Convection in an Open Parallelogram Cavity with the Horizontal Channel: Effects of the Heat Source Length and Location

Abstract

In this work, a numerical simulation was used to investigate the impact that the length and positioning of the heat source had on the mixed convection opposing flow that occurred within the horizontal channel that included an open parallelogram cavity. When the wall being heated is facing away from the direction of the incoming force. Different placements of the heat source along the cavity's sidewalls were explored, with the length of the heat source set at (ε) (0.25
