Background: This article numerically examines the effect of buoyancy and Marangoni convection in a porous enclosure formed by two concentric cylinders filled with Ag-MgO water hybrid nanofluid. The inner wall of the cavity is maintained at a hot temperature and the outer vertical wall is considered to be cold. The adiabatic condition is assumed for other two boundaries. The effect of magnetic field is considered in radial and axial directions. The Brinkman-extended Darcy model has been adopted in the governing equations. Methods: The finite difference scheme is employed to work out the governing Navier-Stokes equations. The numerically simulated outputs are deliberated in terms of isotherms, streamlines, velocityand average Nusselt number profiles for numerous governing parameters. Results: Except for a greater magnitude of axial magnetic field, our results suggest that the rate of thermal transport accelerates as the nanoparticle volume fraction grows.Also, it is observed that there is an escalation in the profile of average Nusselt numberwith an enhancement in Marangoni number. Conclusion: Furthermore, the suppression of heat and fluid flow in the tall annulus is mainly due to the radial magnetic field whereas in shallow annulus, the axial magnetic field profoundly affects the flow field and thermal transfer.

A three dimensional numerical simulation of the effect of an axial magnetic field on the fluid flow, heat and mass transfer within the solvent of GE0.98Si0.02 grown by the travelling solvent method is presented. The full steady state Navier-Stokes equations, as well as the energy, continuity and the mass transport equations, were solved numerically using the finite element technique. It is found that a strong convective flow exists in the solvent, which is known to be undesirable to achieve a uniform crystal. An external axial magnetic field is applied to suppress this convection. By increasing the magnetic induction, it is observed that the intensity of the flow at the centre of the crucible reduces at a faster rate than near the wall. This phenomenon creates a stable and flat growth interface and the silicon distribution in the horizontal plane becomes relatively homocentric. The maximum velocity is found to obey a power law with respect to the Hartmann number Umax Ha⁻⁷/⁴

Forced convection of water–Cu nanofluid in a two-dimensional microchannel is studied numerically. The microchannel wall is divided into three parts. The entry and exit ones are kept insulated while the middle one has more temperature than the inlet fluid. The whole of microchannel is under the influence of a magnetic field with uniform strength of B0. Slip velocity and temperature jump are involved along the microchannel walls for different values of slip coefficient such as B = 0.001, B = 0.01, and B = 0.1 for Re = 10, Re = 50, and Re = 100. Navier–Stokes equations are discretized and numerically solved by a developed computer code in FORTRAN. Results are presented as the velocity, temperature, and Nusselt number profiles. Moreover, the effect of magnetic field on slip velocity and temperature jump is investigated for the first time in the present work. Larger Hartmann number, Reynolds number, and volume fraction correspond to more heat transfer rate; however, the effects of Ha and ϕ are more significant at higher Re.

Two-dimensional laminar hemodynamics through a diseased artery featuring an overlapped stenosis was simulated theoretically and computationally. This study presented a mathematical model for the unsteady blood flow with hybrid biocompatible nanoparticles (Silver and Gold) inspired by drug delivery applications. A modified Tiwari-Das volume fraction model was adopted for nanoscale effects. Motivated by the magneto-hemodynamics effects, a uniform magnetic field was applied in the radial direction to the blood flow. For realistic blood behavior, Reynolds’ viscosity model was applied in the formulation to represent the temperature dependency of blood. Fourier’s heat conduction law was assumed and heat generation effects were included. Therefore, the governing equations were an extension of the Navier–Stokes equations with magneto-hydrodynamic body force included. The two-dimensional governing equations were transformed and normalized with appropriate variables, and the mild stenotic approximation was implemented. The strongly nonlinear nature of the resulting dimensionless boundary value problem required a robust numerical method, and therefore the FTCS algorithm was deployed. Validation of solutions for the particular case of constant viscosity and non-magnetic blood flow was included. Using clinically realistic hemodynamic data, comprehensive solutions were presented for silver, and silver-gold hybrid mediated blood flow. A comparison between silver and hybrid nanofluid was also included, emphasizing the use of hybrid nanoparticles for minimizing the hemodynamics. Enhancement in magnetic parameter decelerated the axial blood flow in stenotic region. Colored streamline plots for blood, silver nano-doped blood, and hybrid nano-doped blood were also presented. The simulations were relevant to the diffusion of nano-drugs in magnetic targeted treatment of stenosed arterial diseases.

Abstract We consider the steady, laminar, convection ow in a long channel of 2D rectangular constricted cross-section under the inuence of an applied magnetic field. The Navier-Stokes equations including Lorentz and buoyancy forces are coupled with the temperature equation and are solved by using linear radial basis function (RBF) approximations in terms of the velocity, pressure and the temperature of the fluid. RBFs are used in the approximation of the particular solution which becomes also the approximate solution of the problem. Results are obtained for several values of Grashof number (Gr), Hartmann number (M) and the constriction ratios (CR) to see the effects on the ow and isotherms for fixed values of Reynolds number and Prandtl number. As M increases, the ow is flattened. An increase in Gr increases the magnitude of the ow in the channel. Isolines undergo an inversion at the center of the channel indicating convection dominance due to the strong buoyancy force, but this inversion is retarded with the increase in the strength of the applied magnetic field. When both Hartmann number and constriction ratio are increased, ow is divided into more loops symmetrically with respect to the axes.

The traveling solvent method (TSM) is a relatively new and promising technique for the production of high quality semiconductors. TSM has been tested on many alloys producing pure and homogeneous crystals. In the present study the effect of buoyancy convection on the growth of the Si0.15Ge0.85 crystal grown by the traveling solvent method is investigated under different heating conditions. The full Navier-Stokes equations together with the energy and solutal equations were solved numerically using the finite element technique. The model take into consideration the losses of heat by radiation and the use of the phase diagram to determine the silicon concentration at the growth interface. Results revealed a strong convection in the solvent, which in turn is detrimental to the growth uniformity in the crystal rod. Additional numerical results showed that the convective heat transfer significantly influences the solute distribution in the liquid zone and the growth rate increases substantially.

Present study is devoted to numerical simulation of heat and mass transfer inside a cooper profile filled with paraffin enhanced with Al2O3 nanoparticles. This profile is heated by the heat-generating element of constant volumetric heat flux. Two-dimensional approximation of melting process is described by the Navier-Stokes equations in non-dimensional variables such as stream function, vorticity and temperature. The enthalpy formulation has been used for description of the heat transfer. The influence of volume fraction of nanoparticles and intensity of heat generation on melting process and natural convection in liquid phase has been studied.

A Magnetohydrodynamic pump uses the Lorentz effect. It is based on the injection of an electric field into two electrodes located at facing side walls of a channel. The purpose of this study is to numerically investigate the effect of Nanofluid properties on the flow field as well as the temperature distribution in a MHD pump. To solve the non-linear governing differential equations, a finite difference based code is developed and utilized. The temperature and velocity are calculated by solving the energy and Navier-Stokes equations. Result shows that temperature stays almost constant with magnetic field. Furthermore velocity and temperature behaviours are similar for each period. However heat transfer inside the MHD pump varies with nanofluid (NaCl solution and Al2O3 nanoparticles) in comparison with the NaCl solution.
