Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Flux Solver for Natural Convection of Nanofluid in a Square Enclosure

In the present study, mathematical modeling was performed to simulate natural convection of a nanofluid in a square enclosure using the thermal lattice Boltzmann flux solver (TLBFS). Firstly, natural convection in a square enclosure, filled with pure fluid (air and water), was investigated to validate the accuracy and performance of the method. Then, influences of the Rayleigh number, of nanoparticle volume fraction on streamlines, isotherms and average Nusselt number were studied. The numerical results illustrated that heat transfer was enhanced with the augmentation of Rayleigh number and nanoparticle volume fraction. There was a linear relationship between the average Nusselt number and solid volume fraction. and there was an exponential relationship between the average Nusselt number and Ra. In view of the Cartesian grid used by the immersed boundary method and lattice model, the immersed boundary method was chosen to treat the no-slip boundary condition of the flow field, and the Dirichlet boundary condition of the temperature field, to facilitate natural convection around a bluff body in a square enclosure. The presented numerical algorithm and code implementation were validated by means of numerical examples of natural convection between a concentric circular cylinder and a square enclosure at different aspect ratios. Numerical simulations were conducted for natural convection around a cylinder and square in an enclosure. The results illustrated that nanoparticles enhance heat transfer in higher Rayleigh number, and the heat transfer of the inner cylinder is stronger than that of the square at the same perimeter.     

Lattice Boltzmann simulation for hydrothermal analysis of free convection within dumbbell-shaped heat exchanger

The lattice Boltzmann simulation of nanofluid flow and heat transfer during natural convection within a dumbbell-shaped heat exchanger is carried out. The heat exchanger is filled with CuO–water. The KKL model is employed to predict the thermo-physical properties of nanofluid. In order to perform a comprehensive hydrothermal investigation, different post-processing approaches such as heatline visualization, total entropy generation, local entropy generation based on local fluid friction irreversibility and heat transfer irreversibility, average and local Nusselt variation are employed. In the present investigation, it is tried to present the impact of different influential parameters like Rayleigh number, solid volume fraction of nanofluid and thermal arrangement of internal fins-bodies on the fluid flow, heat transfer rate and entropy generation.     

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of 3-dimensional natural convection heat transfer of CuO/water nanofluids

The present study investigated fluid flow and natural convection heat transfer in an enclosure embedded with isothermal cylinder. The purpose was to simulate the three-dimensional natural convection by thermal lattice Boltzmann method based on the D3Q19 model. The effects of suspended nanoparticles on the fluid flow and heat transfer analysis have been investigated for different parameters such as particle volume fraction, particle diameters, and geometry aspect ratio. It is seen that flow behaviors and the average rate of heat transfer in terms of the Nusselt number (Nu) are effectively changed with different controlling parameters such as particle volume fraction (5 % ≤ φ ≤ 10 %), particle diameter (d _p = 10 nm to 30 nm) and aspect ratio (0.5 ≤ AR ≤ 2) with fixed Rayleigh number, Ra = 10⁵. The present results give a good approximation for choosing an effective parameter to design a thermal system.     

Lattice Boltzmann method for nanofluid flow in a porous cavity with heat sources and magnetic field

In this article, Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been applied to investigate the influences of magnetic field and heat sources on water based nanofluid natural convection inside a porous cavity with three square heat sources. Koo–Kleinstreuer–Li (KKL) model is applied to study Brownian motion impact on nanofluid flow. Effects of Rayleigh number (Ra), Darcy number (Da), nanofluid volume fraction (ϕ), and Hartmann number (Ha) on heat transfer characteristics are analyzed. From the obtained results we observe a decrease in the temperature gradient with increasing Ha; while quite the opposite effect is true with increasing Da and Ra. In the absence of magnetic field, for higher values of Darcy and Rayleigh numbers, thermal plumes are generated and the temperature gradient is enhanced. Moreover, small eddies are generated near the vertical centerline. However, in the presence of magnetic field, the number of thermal plumes decreases.
