要約

This presentation demonstrates that mixed computation can be a quite useful tool in studying transient heat convection. One version of the integral transform method, when the inversion formula is expanded at the very beginning, is employed. As an illustrative example, two dimensional transient convection of a Boussinesq fluid in a square cavity, with side walls at different temperatures and insulated top and bottom walls, is solved by using only 5 degrees of freedom. The transient temperature field is animated. The results can be reproduced for any other values of the parameters since this paper is a Mathematica notebook.
