Abstract

The work is devoted to the numerical investigation of the convection of an incompressible heat-conducting fluid in a circle domain filled by porous media and heated from below. Based on the Darcy model using staggered grids, a numerical finite-difference scheme for solving equations in polar coordinates is developed. Discretization with a five-point stencil is used to provide a second order of accuracy. We propose special approximations in the pole's vicinity of a circular domain for the problem regarding the stream function and temperature. It is shown that the developed scheme preserves the cosymmetry of the problem. It is extremely important for further computation of the family of stationary regimes. We calculated the critical Rayleigh numbers for the problem with linear in vertical direction distribution of the temperature. The smallest one corresponds to the occurrence of convection.

Keywords:

convection in porous media, cosymmetry, critical values of the Rayleigh numbers, finite-difference scheme, circular enclosure
