Abstrakt

The solution of two dimensional laminar nonisothermal flow in the shear driven cavity is presented. The flow is assumed to be incompressible and steady. Physical variables (u, v, p, T) were used. Results were obtained using FEM for Reynolds number 1 − 400 and Prandtl number 1 − 1000, Peclet number up to 1000 and various viscosity − temperature dependences. Typical for liquids exponential viscosity − temperature dependence causes significant differences in the flow field comparing with the isothermal case. It influences also the heat transfer what is reflected in Nusselt numbers.
