Simulation of mixed convection heat transfer in a horizontal channel with an open cavity containing a heated hollow cylinder

The objective of this paper is to numerically investigate the mixed convective flow and heat transfer controlled by a heated hollow cylinder inside an open cavity attached with a horizontal channel. All the boundaries of the channel and cavity are perfectly insulated while the inner surface of the c...
