Numerical investigation of combined buoyancy-thermocapillary convection and entropy generation in 3D cavity filled with Al2O3 nanofluid
Heat transfer, fluid flow and entropy generation due to combined buoyancy and thermocapillary forces in a 3D differentially heated enclosure containing Al2O3 nanofluid are carried out for different Marangoni numbers and different nanoparticles concentrations. The vector potential-vorticity formalism...
