The performance of bilateral inclined solid and porous fins in natural convection within an H-
shaped cavity with a hot bottom wall, cold vertical walls, and insulated horizontal walls are …

In this paper, optimal characteristics of very conductive thin fins in the confined cavity are
obtained. Free convection is dominant mode of heat transfer in the cavity, and the …

In this paper, optimal shape of cavity with change of hot walls geometry is obtained using
PSO algorithm. In this method near domain of hot wall is divided into similar blocks as those …

This study investigates the effect of optimal thickness, position, and length of a thick fin,
optimal groove depth, position, and length of a horizontally grooved thin fin, and optimal …

ABSTRACT A two-dimensional numerical simulation is conducted to study natural
convection flow and heat transfer characteristics in a square cavity filled with a micropolar …

Taguchi method has been used since 1980 as an effective way to optimize the design
process engineering tests. In this paper, optimal conditions of the mixed convection and …

Buoyancy-driven airflow that included two isothermal inner plates established in a vented
cavity is investigated numerically. The thermally optimum wall-to-wall spacing of the …

This paper presents a numerical method for two shape optimization problems, namely,
prescribing the temperature history distribution on sub-boundaries and maximizing the …

The utilization of shape design to improve heat transfer characteristics in heat convection
fields is an important subject in engineering. This review paper explains a numerical …
