Abstract MHD double-diffusive natural convective flow in a C-shaped enclosure filled with a Cu/Water nanofluid is investigated numerically using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). Much care is devoted to the validation of the numerical code. The effects exerted on the flow, concentration and temperature fields by different parameters such as the Rayleigh number (103−106), the nanoparticle volume concentration (0−0,1), the Lewis number (1-5), the Hartmann number (0−30) and different types of nanoparticles (Cu, Ag, Al2O3 and TiO3 are assessed in detail. Results for stream function, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are presented and discussed for various parametric conditions. Results indicate that the… More >
