abstract

in the present research mixed convection flow through a copper-water nanofluid in a driven cavity in the presence of magnetic field is investigated numerically. the cavity is heated from top and cooled from bottom while its two vertical walls are insulated. the governing equations including continuity, n-s and energy equations are solved over a staggered grid system. the study is conducted for grashof number103 to 105, hartmann number 0 to 100 and volume fraction number  0 to 5% while reynolds number is fixed at 100. hamilton–crosser and brinkman models have estimated effective thermal conductivity and effective viscosity of nanofluid, respectively. it is observed that magnetic field has unconstructive effect on heat transfer process whereas nanoparticles increase heat transfer rate.

Numerical Simulation of Mixed Convection Flows in a Square Double Lid-Driven Cavity Partially Heated Using Nanofluid

A numerical study has been done through an Al2O3–water in a double lid-driven  square  cavity with various  inclination  angles  and discrete heat sources. The top and right moving walls are at low temperature. Half of  the  left and bottom walls are  insulated and  the  temperatures of the other half are kept at high. A large number of simulations for a wide  range  of Richardson  number ...

Numerical Investigation of Magnetic Field Effects on Mixed Convection Flow in a Nanofluid-filled Lid-driven Cavity

In this work, the stencil adaptive method is applied to investigate the effects of a magnetic field on mixed convection of Al2O3-water nanofluid in a square lid-driven cavity. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by an adaptive mesh method which has superior numerical advantages compared to the traditional method on the uniform fine grid. The main objective of this study is to ...

Numerical Study of Mixed Convection Coupled to Radiation in a Square Cavity with a Lid-Driven

In this study, we investigated numerically heat transfer by mixed convection coupled to radiation in a square cavity; the upper horizontal wall is movable. The purpose of this study is to see the influence of the emissivity ε and the varying of the Richardson number Ri on the variation of average Nusselt number Nu. The vertical walls of the cavity are differentially heated, the left wall is mai...
