Transport phenomena of nanofluids in cavities: current trends and applications

Nanoscale Studies on Aggregation Phenomena in Nanofluids

Understanding the microscopic dispersion and aggregation of nanoparticles at nanoscale media has become an important challenge during the last decades. Nanoscale modeling techniques are the important tools to tackle many of the complex problems faced by engineers and scientists. Making progress in the investigations at nanoscale whether experimentally or computationally has helped understand th...

[Proceeding] Simulation of the transport of nanofluids in porous media: particle deposition and clogging phenomena

Recently, the use of engineered nanoparticles has been proposed for a variety of environmental applications, such as enhanced oil recovery, subsurface characterization and in situ contaminant remediation. As an example, injection into the subsurface of suspensions of microscale and nanoscale zerovalent iron particles (MZVI and NZVI) have proved to be a promising technology for treatment of aqui...

Modeling Transport Mechanism in Nanofluids

Nanofluid connotes a colloidal suspension with dispersed nano-sized particles. Experiments in the past decade reveal that nanofluids have a significantly higher thermal conductivity in comparison to that of the base fluid. Recently, a number of phenomenological models have been proposed to explain the anomalous heat transfer enhancement seen in nanofluids. In this paper, we make a systematic su...
