摘要: A two-phase lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to study the natural convection heat exchange characteristics of Al2O3–H2O nanofluids and (Al2O3/Cu)–H2O composite in a rectangular cavity this paper. It can be found that LBM suitable for on nanofluids, its correctness verified. Firstly, effects temperature differences (∆T = 1 K ∆T = 11 K), volume fractions (φ = 0.01, 0.03 0.05) kinds fluid (water, Al2O3/Cu–H2O nanofluids) free are researched. Then, streamline distributions investigated, respectively. Lastly, local Nusselt number average different along with Y direction investigated. show larger enhancement than water. strengthen transfer performance by 9.9% 5% at extreme compared deionized water, Besides, maximum ratio 9.8% 4.5% small difference (ΔT = 1 K), respectively, which greater (1.6% 0.36%) big (ΔT = 11 K).
