A lattice Boltzmann investigation of two-phase natural convection of Cu-water nanofluid in a square cavity

A numerical investigation of two-phase natural convection of Cu-water nanofluid in a square cavity is conducted by using a novel volume fraction-thermal lattice Boltzmann method to solve the governing equations of the flow field, temperature field, and nanoparticle volume fraction distribution field...
