“…The given above analysis of the research activities on fluid flow and heat transfer in microchannels performed over the past few years indicates that studies incorporated different geometries of microchannels, namely circular, flat, rectangular, and triangular, and straight and curved, subject to different boundary and initial conditions. In the works [15][16][17][18], the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was successfully applied to simulate stationary and accelerated microflows in straight and curved microchannels. The simulations enabled quantifying the effects of the Rayleigh, Prandtl, and Nusselt numbers, as well as slippage on the flow development in circular, flat, and curved microchannels.…”
