Abstract
The interaction of natural convection with thermal radiation of gray surfaces in a square enclosure filled with air has been numerically investigated. The effect of radiation on the flow field, temperature distribution, and heat transfer is predicted. The result shows that surface radiation significantly altered the temperature distribution and the flow patterns, especially at higher Rayleigh numbers. The average convection Nusselt number increases with the increase of Ra. The presence of surface radiation can change the value of average convection Nusselt number, but only little variation can be observed with the increase of emissivity. The average radiative Nusselt number rises quickly with the increase of emissivity, and radiation heat transfer plays an important part in overall heat flux at larger emissivity. The correlation of entire average Nusselt number has also been discussed for evaluating heat transfer through the enclosure,
