The results of numerical simulation of unsteady free convection developing near a suddenly heated plate, on which protrusions in the form of adiabatic cylinders of double height with respect to the diameter are arranged in a checkerboard pattern, are presented. The calculations were performed according to the Reynolds equations using a differential model of turbulent stresses. The range of variation of the Grashof number (plotted according to the thickness of the free convective flow), in which a significant intensification of heat transfer can be achieved, has been determined. It is shown that the best conditions for intensification are created if the longitudinal pitch in the array of protrusions is approximately twenty times the diameter of the latter.

Background: The present manuscript analyses the influence of buoyant forces of a conducting time-dependent nanofluid flow through porous moving walls. The medium is also filled with porous materials. In addition to that, uniform heat source and absorption parameters are considered that affect the nanofluid model. Introduction: The model is based on the thermophysical properties of Hamilton-Crosser's nanofluid model, in which a gold nanoparticle is submerged into the base fluid water. Before simulation is obtained by a numerical method, suitable transformation is used to convert nonlinear coupled PDEs to ODEs. Method: Runge-Kutta fourth-order scheme is applied successfully for the first-order ODEs in conjunction with the shooting technique. Result: Computations for the coefficients of rate constants are presented through graphs, along with the behavior of several physical parameters augmented the flow phenomena. Conclusion: The present investigation may be compatible with the applications of biotechnology. It is seen that, inclusion of volume concentration the fluid velocity enhances near the middle layer of the channel and retards near the permeable walls. Also, augmented values of the Reynolds number and both cooling and heating of the wall increases the rate of shear stress.
