Buoyancy-induced convection from a pair of heated and cooled horizontal circular cylinders inside an adiabatic tilted cavity filled with alumina/water nanofluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated numerically buoyancy-induced convection from a pair of differentially heated horizontal circular cylinders set side by side in a nanofluid-filled adiabatic square enclosure, inclined with respect to gravity so that the heated cylinder is located below the cooled one, using a two-phase model based on the double-diffusive approach.
