Hi , I am new to the topic of solving mixed convection problems in COMSOL multiphysics.
I want to validate Fig. 8 of the paper(attached). Stream function and temperature contours for uniform bottom heating case with Pr = 10, Gr = 1000: (a) Re = 1, (b) Re = 10, and (c) Re = 100.
Which physics is to used here. Is it Laminar flow(SPF) and heat transfer(ht)?How to take care of Reynolds number in the governing equation? What is the body force or volume force to be used here? There is no Rayleigh number here but Grashoff number is the parameter of study here.
Kindly suggest for a non dimensional case.
Thanks in advance.
