标题:SIMULATION OF COMBINED CONVECTION IN INCLINED TWO-SIDED LID DRIVEN ENCLOSURE SUBJECTED TO NANOFLUID WITH DIFFERENT LIDS VELOCITY RATIO AND RICHARDSON NUMBER
摘要:The flow behaviour of Al2O3 nanofluids is investigated numerically inside a two-sided lid-driven inclined square cavity to gain insight into convective recirculation and flow processes induced by a nanofluid. The transport equations are solved numerically with finite volume approach using SIMPLE algorithm. Using the developed code, the effects of the Richardson number, the velocity ration of cavity lids and the volume fraction of the Cu nanoparticles on the flow inside the cavity are investigated.Governing parameters were 0.01 < Ri < 100 but due to space constraints only the results for 0.1 < Ri < 10 are presented
