- Abstract
A two-dimensional numerical study has been conducted to analyze forced convective confined flow and heat transfer from a pair of side-by-side square cylinders with a transverse gap ratio (defined as the ratio of the distance between the obstacles to the size of an obstacle) of 1.5. The flow is steady Newtonian in a viscous dominant flow field, investigated at Reynolds numbers (Re) ranging from 10 to 40 for Prandtl numbers (Pr)= 0.7 and 50. The present results are found to be in the excellent agreement with the literature, with a maximum deviation of 1.5%. It is observed from the streamlines that the wake formation increases with Re. The onset of ow separation was observed at Re= 7 and further a correlation connecting wake length with Re is stated.
