TLDR
In this article, the boundary layer solution predicting the heat transfer rate is derived on the basis of the numerical results, and it is shown that the Nusselt number is inversely proportional (1 + N) where N is the number of partitions.

MHD natural convection flow and heat transfer in a laterally heated partitioned enclosure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of magnetic field on convection flow and heat transfer in a laterally heated enclosure with an off-centred partition and showed that magnetic field significantly suppresses flow, and thus heat transfer, especially for high Rayleigh number values, and the average heat transfer rate decreases with an increase in the distance of the partition from the hot wall.

Fluid-structure interaction analysis of entropy generation and mixed convection inside a cavity with flexible right wall and heated rotating cylinder

TL;DR: In this paper, the transient entropy generation and mixed convection due to a rotating hot inner cylinder within a square cavity having a flexible side wall by using the finite element method and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation was investigated.

Analysis of fluid-solid interaction in MHD natural convection in a square cavity equally partitioned by a vertical flexible membrane

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element method with the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) technique has been used to model the interaction of the fluid and the flexible impermeable membrane.

Heat transfer through single and double vertical walls in natural convection: Theory and experiment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the relationship between overall heat transfer and the degrees of thermal stratification on both sides of the partition and showed that the theoretical Nusselt number calculation is in good agreement with experimental measurements.

Natural convection in partitioned air-filled rectangular enclosures

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of vertical partitioning on convection in air-filled rectangular enclosures was studied and it was found that placing a partition midway between the vertical walls of an enclosure produces the greatest reduction in heat transfer and often compares favorably with fully insulating the enclosure with a porous material.

Numerical analysis of natural convection in a rectangular enclosure horizontally divided into fluid and porous regions

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical study of laminar natural convection heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure horizontally divided into fluid and porous regions is described. And the Navier-Stokes equation governs the fluid motion in the fluid region, while Brinkman's extension of Darcy's law is assumed to hold within the porous region.

Conjugate natural convection heat transfer in an air-filled rectangular cavity

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study of conjugate natural convection heat transfer in an air-filled rectangular cavity has been performed, and the results clearly indicate that the heat transfer rate is considerably attenuated in a partitioned cavity in comparing with that for nonpartitioned cavity.
