The double diffusive mixed convection around a heated cylinder in an enclosure was numerically studied. The heated cylinder was located at the center of the enclosure with high temperature and concentration. The inlet flow with low temperature and concentration was located at the lower-left wall of the enclosure and the exit was at the upper-right wall. First
the influences of Richardson number (Ri) on the interior flow characteristics were presented. It showed that the oscillation phenomenon occurred at Ri=0.001. At Ri=1.0
the flow was in a steady state. Then
the influences of Lewis number (Le) and buoyancy ratio (Br) on the double diffusive mixed convection were investigated while the Richardson number was kept constant at 1.0. The average Nusselt number Nuavand Sherwood number Shav were reported. The current study can provide the theoretical supports for the pollutant control
