In this Paper, the Heat Transfer Performance in an Enclosure Including Nanofluids Is Studied. the Velocity Field Is Solved by an Incompressible Generalized Lattice Boltzmann Method and Heat Transfer Is Simulated Using Single-Relaxation-Time Lattice Boltzmann Method. the Hydrodynamics and Thermal Fields Are then Coupled Together Using the Boussinesq Approximation. the Fluid in the Square Cavity Is a Cu-Water Nanofluid. the Effects of Grashof Number and Solid Volume Fraction on Thermal and Hydrodynamic Characteristics Are Investigated. the Results Obtained Clearly Show that Heat Transfer Enhancement Is Possible Using Nanofluids in Comparison to Conventional Fluids. Comparisons with Previously Published Works Are Performed and Found to Be in Excellent Agreement with Existing Data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
