Abstract
In the present investigation, innovative complex porous enclosure is chosen to simulate the MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) natural convection. One side of porous cavity packed with radiative nanofluid (CuO–water) has curve-shaped triangular wave pattern. To gain insight into outputs, CVFEM (control volume-based finite element method) has been used. Nanofluid behavior is inspected by employing two-temperature model for solid matrix and nanoliquid and KKL model for effective properties of nanofluid with an extensive range of key parameters acting as Hartmann number, radiation parameter, buoyancy impact, phase interacting heat transfer factor. Not only imposing magnetic field but also wavy surface and dispersion of nanomaterial have been considered in the current paper. New numerical approach has been utilized to demonstrate the behavior of nanomaterial through the porous tank. Interrelation of average Nusselt number with involved parameters is also proposed. Outcomes reveal that radiation term has straightforward association with Nusselt number. Greater vortex generates with the rise in shape factor.
