Abstract

In this work we used the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to model the turbulent flow in a local filled with air, of side H, and heated from below by a constant temperature θC=1. One of the vertical walls has a cold portion of temperature θF=0. The other walls are adiabatic. The calculations were performed in two dimensions (2D) for Rayleigh numbers Ra=108 and Ra=1.5×108 and for different size ratio of the heat source (0.2 ≤ Lr = ℓ / H ≤ 0.8). The results are presented in the form of streamlines, isotherms and temperature evolution. The heat transfer is studied in terms of the average Nusselt number calculated on the hot wall. Results show that the temperature at the center and the heat transfer increases by increasing the Lr or Ra
