Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid convective flow in cubic porous enclosure is reported. Lattice Boltzmann Method is selected as mesoscopic approach. Brownian motion impact is taken into account via KKL model. Roles of Darcy number ( D a ) , Hartmann number ( H a ) , Rayleigh number ( R a ) , and Al 2 O 3 volume fraction ( ϕ ) are presented. Outputs are illustrated in forms of velocity contours, isokinetic energy, streamlines, isotherms and Nusselt number. Results indicate that temperature gradient over the hot surface augments with rise of Darcy numbers and ϕ while it reduces with augment of Lorentz forces. Nusselt number enhances with increase of buoyancy forces and permeability of porous media. Nanofluid motion enhances with augment of ϕ , D a , R a while it decreases with augment of H a .
