Abstract:In this paper, the behavior of an elastic barrier subjected to isothermal laminar flow of Al2O3-water nanofluid in a channel has been studied numerically by the finite element method. A CFD based on the arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) formulation, has been developed in an attempt to solve the Navier-Stokes and stress-strain equations of the structure. The objective is to study the effects of inertia (Re) and nanoparticle volume fraction (φ) on the overall hydrodynamic behavior, as well as on the nanofluid-struc… Show more
