Thermal Radiation and Magnetic Field Effects on the Flow and Heat Transfer of the Nanofluid in a Square Cavity
In this paper,the effects of thermal radiation and magnetic field on the fluid flow and heat transfer of the nanofluids in a square cavity were numerically studied.The square cavity was filled with the absorbing-emitting-scatterng Al2O3/water nanofluids,which was assumed to be viscous,incompressible,and also have electrical conductivity.The top and the bottom walls of the square cavity were perfectly insulated while the left and right vertical walls are maintained isothermal.All the governing equations were solved by using the collocation spectral method.After the validation of numerical results,streamlines,isotherms,and Nusselt number were analyzed for the effects of the inclination angle of the magnetic field and the emissivity of walls.
