Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to simulate nanofluid laminar steady flow in a lid-driven porous cavity under the impact of Lorentz forces.Design/methodology/approachShape effect of nanoparticles and magnetic field impact on nanofluid properties are taken into consideration. The solutions of final equations are obtained by control volume based finite element method (CVFEM).FindingsGraphs are depicted for different values of Darcy number, Fe3O4-water volume fraction, Reynolds and Hartmann numbers.Originality/valueResults illustrated that using Platelet-shaped nanoparticles results in the highest Nusselt number. Nusselt number augments with rise of Darcy and Reynolds number.
