Abstract This paper examines natural convection in an open cavity with a sinusoidal thermal boundary condition. The cavity is filled with a water-Al2O3 nanofluid and subjected to a magnetic field. The Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is applied to solve the coupled equations of flow and temperature. The study has been carried out considering parameters in the following ranges: Rayleigh number of the base fluid, Ra = 103 to 106, Hartmann number varied from Ha = 0 to 60, phase deviation γ = 0, π4, π2, 3 π4 and π and solid volume fraction of nanoparticles between π = 0 and 6%.… More >
