Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Turbulent Natural Convection in Tall Enclosures Using Cu/Water Nanofluid

Experimental and numerical investigations on a solar tracking concentrated photovoltaic–thermal system with a novel non-dimensional lattice Boltzmann method

“…The higher the Reynolds number is, the larger the size of mesh should be applied. Furthermore, if the mesoscopic Reynolds number and Peclet number are replaced by Re ' ¼ Re H mð1þm T =m f Þ and Pe ' ¼ Pe H mð1þa T =a f Þ , respectively, the present NDLBM can be extended to include various turbulence models, allowing us to further simulate turbulent flow and heat transfer (Sajjadi et al, 2012;Jahanshaloo et al, 2013).…”

Recent progress on lattice Boltzmann simulation of nanofluids: A review

“…He et al [78], Kefayati et al [79], Lai and Yang [80] and many more [81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88] dedicated their study on the nanofluid flow and heat transfer characteristics inside a conventional differentially heat side walls of rectangular enclosure. On the other hand, Sajjadi et al [89], Hosseini et al [90] and Karimipour et al [91] extended the research on the effect of inclination angles on the heat transfer efficiency inside the enclosure.…”

“…Leila et al [119] provide excellent review on the subject. However, our literature survey from SCOPUS database shows only one paper related to the analysis of turbulent flow with nanofluids [120,81]. The LBM has been coupled with the large eddy simulation scheme to predict turbulent natural convection of Cu-water nanofluid in an enclosure at high Rayleigh numbers.…”

A Non-Dimensional Lattice Boltzmann Method for direct and porous medium model simulations of 240-tube bundle heat exchangers in a solar storage tank

“…LBM has been applied for natural and mixed convection inside an enclosure by introducing a body force term into the momentum equation for macroscopic Reynolds number up to 2 Â 10 3 and the macroscopic Rayleigh number up to 5 Â 10 6 [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Also, the conjugate heat transfer of a solid and fluid was solved easily with LBM method by a modification of the relaxation time in the energy equation [21,22].…”
