This study presents the dual reciprocity boundary element (DRBEM) solution of Brinkman-Forchheimer-extended Darcy model in a porous medium containing an incompressible, viscous fluid. The governing dimensionless equations are solved in terms of stream function, vorticity and temperature. The problem geometry is a unit square cavity with either partially heated top and bottom walls or hot steps at the middle of these walls. DRBEM provides one to obtain the expected behavior of the flow in considerably small computational cost due to the discretization of only the boundary, and to compute the space derivatives in convective terms as well as unknown vorticity boundary conditions using coordinate matrix constructed by radial basis functions. The Backward-Euler time integration scheme is utilized for the time derivatives. The decrease in Darcy number suppresses heat transfer while heat transfer increases for larger values of porosity, and the natural convection is pronounced with the increase in Rayleigh number.

DRBEM Solution of MHD Flow with Magnetic Induction and Heat Transfer Pekmen, B.; Tezer, Münevver (2015-03-01) This study proposes the dual reciprocity boundary element (DRBEM) solution for full magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in a lid-driven square cavity. MHD equations are coupled with the heat transfer equation by means of the Boussinesq approximation. Induced magnetic field is also taken into consideration. The governing equations in terms of stream function, temperature, induced magnetic field components, and vorticity are solved employing DRBEM in space together with the implicit backward Euler formula fo...
DRBEM solution of free convection in porous enclosures under the effect of a magnetic field Pekmen, B.; Tezer, Münevver (2013-01-01) The dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is applied for solving steady free convection in special shape enclosures filled with a fluid saturated porous medium under the effect of a magnetic field. The left and right walls are maintained at constant or different temperatures while the top and bottom walls are kept adiabatic. The effect of the external magnetic field on the flow and temperature behavior is visualized with different Rayleigh numbers Ra, Hartmann numbers Ha and inclination angle phi...
DRBEM solution of biomagnetic fluid flow and heat transfer in cavities-CMMSE2016 Senel, P.; Tezer, Münevver (2017-08-01) In this paper, we investigate the fully developed, laminar, forced convection flow of an electrically non-conducting, viscous, biomagnetic fluid in the 2D cross-section (cavity) of a long impermeable pipe. The fluid is under the influence of a point magnetic source placed below the cavity. The dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) with constant and linear elements is used for solving the governing equations resulting from the Navier-Stokes and energy equations together with magnetization and buoy...
DRBEM SOLUTION OF THE NATURAL CONVECTIVE FLOW OF MICROPOLAR FLUIDS Gumgum, S.; Tezer, Münevver (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The main purpose of this article is to present the use of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) in the analysis of the unsteady natural convective flow of micropolar fluids in a differentially heated rectangular cavity. The finite-difference method (FDM) is used for time discretization. All the convective terms and vorticity boundary condition are evaluated in terms of DRBEM coordinate matrix. Solutions are obtained for several values of microstructure parameter (k), Rayleigh number (Ra), and...
DRBEM solutions of Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations in cavities under point source magnetic field Senel, P.; Tezer, Münevver (2016-03-01) This paper describes an iterative dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) for the solutions of Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations in cavities under the effect of an external point source magnetic field placed very close to the bottom. The fluid is viscous, incompressible and electrically non-conducting but magnetizable, and the flow is steady, laminar and fully developed. Both the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations are solved in terms of velocity and pressure of the fluid by using DRBEM. Pressure b...
