Numerical solution of convective heat transfer in a polar cavity

Numerical solution of 2-D polar cavity is very less investigated analytically, numerically and experimentally. The investigation is mainly to understand the flow phenomena in the domain. One of the difficulties that occur for the numerical investigation is domain setup for complex geometry. The nume...
