Pore-Scale Investigation on Natural Convection Melting in a Square Cavity with Gradient Porous Media

In this paper, natural convection melting in a square cavity with gradient porous media is numerically studied at pore-scale level by adopting the lattice Boltzmann method. To generate the gradient porous media, a Monte Carlo technique based on the random sampling principle is used. The effects of s...
