What is it about?
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was carried out to study the velocity and temperature distribution between the two bases of a horizontal solid slab containing a fluid-filled fracture that crosses the slab. The governing equations include continuity, momentum and energy equations with Boussinesq approximation were solved simultaneously using appropriate boundary conditions. This study was confined to work out for low-Rayleigh-number flows. The simulation results were compared with experimental data to validate the accuracy of the CFD work.
