Abstract

This study introduces a numerical method to address the phenomenon of fluid flow and heat transfer within a rectangular area under wall slip boundary conditions. The established marker and cell (MAC) technique [1] has been effectively used for discretizing the governing equations relevant to the study. The MAC method’s solution algorithm has been employed to calculate the flow variables for high Reynolds numbers and a range of Prandtl numbers. The numerical computations were performed in accordance with the stability criteria established through the von Neumann analysis. An examination of the influence of high Reynolds numbers and Prandtl numbers on flow variables has been outlined.
