Abstract:
This paper summarizes a numerical study of the effects of buoyancy ratio on
double-diffusive natural convection in square inclined cavity filled with fluid saturated
porous media. Transverse gradients of heat and solute are applied on two opposing walls of
the cavity, while the other two walls are impermeable and adiabatic. The Darcy model with
the Boussinesq approximation is used to solve the governing equations. The flow is driven by
a combined buoyancy effect due to both temperature and concentration variations. A finite
volume approach has been used to solve the non-dimensional governing equations. The
results are presented in streamline, isothermal, iso-concentration, Nusselt and Sherwood
contours for different values of the non-dimensional governing parameters
