Numerical Study on Entropy Generation in Thermal Convection with Differentially Discrete Heat Boundary Conditions

Entropy generation in thermal convection with differentially discrete heat boundary conditions at various Rayleigh numbers (Ra) are numerically investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. We mainly focused on the effects of Ra and discrete heat boundary conditions on entropy generation in therm...
