Buoyancy-driven heat transfer enhancement in a two-dimensional enclosure utilizing nanofluids
TL;DR: In this article, a model is developed to analyze heat transfer performance of nanofluids inside an enclosure taking into account the solid particle dispersion, where the transport equations are solved numerically using the finite-volume approach along with the alternating direct implicit procedure.
