Forced Convection of Cu-Water Nanofluid in Vented Square Enclosure with an Interior Rotating Hexagonal Cylinder

This research presents the results of a numerical study of forced convection in adiabatic square ventilated enclosure containing a hot hexagonal cylinder rotating around its axis. The direction of the forced flow of Water-copper cooling nanofluid is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. The governing equations of the flow for an incompressible Newtonian nanofluid are assumed to be two-dimensional, steady and laminar. The finite volume method is used for numerical simulations. A series of calculations are carried out to study the effects of the main influencing factors; Reynolds numbers (200更多
