Numerical simulation of mixed convective flow and heat transfer in a staggered double lid driven cavity using Newton-multigrid FEM

ORAL

Abstract

A computational study has been carried out for the analysis of two dimensional, incompressible and steady mixed convective flow and heat transfer in a staggered double lid driven cavity. The resulting system of equations is discretized using Galerkin finite element method and in particular, the LBB-stable finite element pair Q2/P1disc which lead to 3rd and 2nd order accuracy in the L2-norm for the velocity/temperature and pressure, respectively. The discrete system of nonlinear equations is treated with the help of Newton’s method and the corresponding linear systems are treated using monolithic geometric multigrid solver with Vanka-type smoother.

*I am interested in applying for Travel subsidy grants to assist the costs to present in 2018 APS DFD meeting in Atlanta, GA. If for any reason, I m not eligible for Travel subsidy grants, I like to request Enabling travel grants. I am promoted to Associate Professor position couple of years back belonging to third world country. I like to present my research and get exposures and expand my collaboration with international community. This will be my first chance to attend a professional meeting like DFD, which will add on to my experience, both professionally and educationally, eventually leading to assist me in future career.
