Numerical investigation of the effect of nanoparticle sedimentation on the thermal behavior of cavities with different cross-sectional shapes [PDF]
In this paper, the thermal behavior of nanofluids was numerically simulated during nanoparticle sedimentation. A new solver was developed in the open-source framework, i.e. openFoam, using the finite volume method by combining appropriate solvers.
