Numerical simulation of natural convection of the nanofluid in heat exchangers using a Buongiorno model

TL;DR: There is an optimal volume fraction of the nano-particles at each Rayleigh number in which the maximum heat transfer rate can be obtained and at low Rayleigh numbers the particle distribution is fairly non-uniform while at high Ra, particle distribution remains almost uniform.

Natural convection in a square cavity: A comparison exercise

TL;DR: In this article, a number of contributed solutions to the problem of laminar natural convection in a square cavity have been compared with what is regarded as a solution of high accuracy, and the purposes of this exercise have been to confirm the accuracy of the bench mark solution and to provide a basis for the assessment of the various methods and computer codes used to obtain the contributed solutions.
