Numerical modelling of natural convection in a square cavity: effect of nanofluid volume fraction and inclination
In this paper, the phenomenon of natural convection in a square cavity filled with copper (Cu) -based nanofluid (Nf) has been studied. The influences of the volume fraction (ф) on the convective flow, as well as the effect of the inclination (γ) of the cavity on thermal performances were examined. T...
