abstract

double-diffusive mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure filled with al2o3-water is numerically investigated. two-dimensional nonlinear governing equations are discretized using the control volume method and hybrid scheme. the equations are solved using simpler algorithm. the results are displayed in the form of streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations when the richardson number varies between 0.01 and 100, the lewis number changes from 0.1 to 10, the buoyancy ratio ranges between 0 and 5,the volume fractions of nanoparticles differs from 0 to 0.06 and the source location moves from the top toward bottom of the left wall. moreover, the variation of average nusselt and sherwood number are illustrated. it is observed that heat transfer enhances as nanoparticles volume fraction increases, while mass transfer reduces. additionally, by increasing the buoyancy ratio, both heat and mass transfer are increased.

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 ...
