The magnetic field on a nanofluid flow within a finned cavity containing solid particles

The ISPH method is utilized for analyzing the influences of a magnetic field on thermosolutal convection of solid particles spreading within a finned cavity. The nanofluid-filled cavity is containing four vertical fins and an embedded square shape involved solid particles over a square blockage. The governing equations of nanofluid flow and spreading of the solid particles were solved jointly by the ISPH method. The vertical walls, four fins, and an inner square blockage are maintained at T-c and C-c. The embedded square shape with gates and the plane walls are adiabatic. The solid particles are kept at T-h and C-h for the duration of the simulation. The propagating of the solid particles and contours of the isothermal, isoconcentration, and streamlines below the impacts of the pertinent parameters are examined. The accomplished simulations recalled that the solid particles propagating often move towards the upper area of a cavity. As a result, the fin on the upper wall acts as an effective tool for adjusting the spread of the solid particles. The blending between solid and fluid particles is affected by an increment in the Hartman parameter. The values of Soret and Dufour numbers (Sr = 2 & Du = 0.03) are reducing the blending of the solid particles within a nanofluid flow.

Automated summary

The ISPH method is used to analyze the effects of a magnetic field on thermosolutal convection of solid particles spreading within a finned cavity. The simulations show that solid particles tend to move towards the upper part of the cavity and the fins on the upper wall play a role in adjusting the spread of the particles. The blending between solid and fluid particles is influenced by an increase in the Hartman parameter, while the Soret and Dufour numbers reduce the blending of solid particles within a nanofluid flow.
