Abstract Procuring a numerical solution through an application of the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method (MLPG) on the fluid flow and mixed convection in a complex geometry cavity filled with a nanofluid is the scope of the present study. The cavity considered is a square enclosure having a lower temperature sliding lid at the top, a differentially higher temperature wavy wall at the bottom, and two thermally insulated walls on the sides. The nanofluid medium used is a water-based nanofluid, Al2O3-water with various volume fractions of its solid. To carry out the numerical simulations, the developed governing equations are determined in terms… More >
