Lattice Boltzmann simulation of natural convection heat transfer of SWCNT-nanofluid in an open enclosure

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of natural convection heat transfer of SWCNT-nanofluid in an open enclosure

The effects of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube and Copper nanoparticles on natural convection heat transfer in an open cavity are investigated numerically. The problem is studied for different volume fractions of nanoparticles (0–1%) and aspect ratio of the cavity (1–4) when Rayleigh number varies fro...
