The investigation of thermal radiation and free convection heat transfer mechanisms of nanofluid inside a shallow cavity by lattice Boltzmann method

TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulate the interaction between thermal surface radiation and nanofluid free convection in a two dimensional shallow cavity by lattice Boltzmann method, and the results are presented as the profiles of velocity and temperature and also the streamlines and isotherms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of nano-particles on forced convection in sinusoidal-wall channel☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the heat transfer and flow field in a wavy channel with nano-fluid and numerically solved the governing equations by the control volume approach based on the SIMPLE technique.

A Critical Review of Dynamic Wetting by Complex Fluids: From Newtonian Fluids to Non-Newtonian Fluids and Nanofluids

TL;DR: Two nanoparticle dissipation modes, the bulk Dissipation mode and the local dissipation mode, are proposed to resolve the uncertainties related to the various types of dynamic wetting mechanisms reported in the literature.

On heat and mass transfer analysis for the flow of a nanofluid between rotating parallel plates

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have considered the three dimensional heat and mass transfer with magnetic effects for the flow of a nanofluid between two parallel plates in a rotating system and applied Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) to see the validity of analytical solution, a numerical solution using RK-4 method coupled with shooting method has also been sought Both the solutions are found to be in excellent agreement to capture the effects of involved physical parameters graphical representation of the flow are included with comprehensive discussions.
