Two-phase mixture numerical simulation of natural convection of nanofluid flow in a cavity partially filled with porous media to enhance heat transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nanoparticles and also simultaneous impact of the nanofluid and the porous layer on heat transfer characteristics are discussed. But the single effect is not considered in this paper, since nanoparticles can weaken the convection and also strengthen the conduction.
