Heat and mass transfer enhancement in a double diffusive mixed convection lid cavity under pulsating flow

Abstract This work assess the effectiveness of the pulsating flow regime for the enhancement of heat and mass transfer in double diffusive problems by studying a two-dimensional, heated, lid cavity. The research characterizes the influence of pulsating parameters such as temporal frequency, wave number and amplitude in the process. Results show that the pulsating regime enhances heat/mass transfer within a square cavity up to a 14%/38% respectively with respect to the non-pulsating case, due to the promotion of additional shear stress fields. As Richardson number, Brownian diffusion or the solute/thermal buoyancy ratio increase or the cavity becomes narrower, heat/mass transfer increases.
