Modeling of heat transfer and fluid flow in a rectangular channel with an obstacle

Heat transfer and fluid flow in the rectangular channel with an obstacle are considered. The problem is described by the Fourier-Kirchhoff equation, Navier-Stokes equations and continuity equation supplemented by appropriate boundary and initial conditions. To solve this system of equations the finite difference method with a staggered grid is used. The results of computations obtained using authorial computer program are compared with ANSYS Fluent simulation. Computations are carried out for obstacles of various sizes and positions, and on this basis the conclusions are formulated.
