Lattice Boltzmann investigation of heat transfer enhancement in square cavity filled with nanofluid

摘要：

The lattice Boltzmann method is applied to simulate the thermal field and flow field of nanofluid natural convection in a square cavity. The heat transfer characteristics of nanofluid are compared with that of water to explore nanofluid heat transfer mechanism. The flow field shows different characters at different Rayleigh number and the average Nusselt number is obtained changing with Rayleigh number.
