Abstract

The numerical method for modeling the behavior of nanofluid within the closed container in the presence of Lorentz force was dissected in this paper. The working fluid contains water and two shapes of nanoparticles. The porous geometry has one sinusoidal inner surface which faces constant heat flux. Influences of gravity and vertical Lorentz was complicated in modeling and momentum equations have been edited with adding related source terms. The precision of code was tested and respectable agreement has been obtained. The influences of loading nanomaterial and strength of two important forces (gravity and buoyancy) have been analyzed in the result section. Loading nanoparticles leads to a growth of Nu around 26.99% and 41.04% when [Formula: see text] and 15. Increasing buoyancy leads to augment of Nu about 44.34% and 1.46% in the absence and existence of Ha. Applying Lorentz force makes Nu to decrease about 40.39% when [Formula: see text].
