TLDR
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.About:

Natural convection heat transfer in enclosures with multiple vertical partitions
TL;DR: 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
Kamil Kahveci,Semiha Öztuna +1 more
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.

Thermal radiation role in conjugate heat transfer across a multiple-cavity building block
TL;DR: In this paper, a conjugate heat transfer analysis is carried out numerically to compute the heat transfer rate/R-value as the number/layout of air-filled cavities is changed.

Natural convection in a vertically divided square enclosure by a solid partition into air and water regions
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite difference technique was used to analyze the flow and heat transfer due to buoyancy forces in a square enclosure divided by an impermeable partition between air and water filled chests.
