Furthermore, the local equilibrium[15-17], entropy generation [18], porous media [19], distribution function determines the type of problem thatmultiphase flow [20] and etc. LBM has ability to simulate needs to be solved. It also models the equilibriumcomplex flow such as micro channel [21, 22] and fuel cell distribution functions, which are calculated with Eq. (3)[23, 24]. and Eq. (4) for flow and temperature fields, respectively

In the present study LBM approach is used to [14].simulate mixed convection flow utilizing nanofluids in asquare lid-driven cavity with presence of cubic obstacle.

It uses modeling ofmovement of fluid particles to capture macroscopic fluid (5)quantities such as velocity, pressure and temperature. Inthis approach the fluid domain is discretized in uniform For natural convection the Boussinesq approximationCartesian cells. Each cell holds a fixed number of is applied and radiation heat transfer is negligible. Todistribution functions, which represent the number of ensure that the code works in near incompressible regime,fluid particles moving in these discrete directions. For this the characteristic velocity of the flow for both naturalwork the D2Q9 model has been used. The values of w and force regimes must be smallo

and f for g, are assigned in this model. The density anddistribution functions i.e. the f and g, are calculated bysolving the Lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE), which is aspecial discretization of the kinetic Boltzmann equation.After introducing BGK approximation, the general form oflattice Boltzmann equation with external force can bewritten as [9]:

Lattice Boltzmann Model for Nanofluid: In order tosimulate the nanofluid by the lattice Boltzmann method,Because of the inter particle potentials and other forceson the nanoparticles, the nanofluid behaves differentlyfrom the pure liquid from the mesoscopic point of viewand is of high efficiency in energy transport as well asdesired stabilization than the common solid-liquid mixture.For pure fluid in absence of nanoparticles in the cavity,the governed equations are Eqs. (1-6). However, formodeling the nanofluid because of changing in the fluidthermal conductivity, density, heat capacitance andthermal expansion, some of the governed equationsshould be changed. The thermal diffusivity is written as[17]:

[12] as shownin Figure 2. For further validation, mixed convection issimulated in a lid driven cavity which is filled withnanofluid and average Nusselt number is compared with Fig. 3: Comparison of the average Nusselt number alongTalebi et al.

CONCLUSION

Simulation of nanofluid mix convection wasinvestigated in a square lid driven cavity with thepresence of a hot square obstacle by using the LatticeBoltzmann method. The effect of obstacle verticalposition, Richardson number and volume fraction of Cunanoparticles in the range were investigated on mixedconvection flow and heat transfer. Results showed thatthe streamlines have different patterns at differentRichardson numbers. The heat transfer rate increases byaugmentation of nano particles concentration at constantRichardson number and obstacle vertical position. AlsoRichardson number is more effect on the flow field,isotherms and Nusselt number when obstacle was locatedat the bottom section of the enclousure.

Persian Abstract

چكيدهي توسط روش شبكه در مطالعه حاضر جريان جابجايي تركيبي در يك محفظه مربعي حاوي نانوسيال با وجود يك مانع مربعي

ي حاضر در عدد رايلي باشد. مطالعهي آب حاوي نانوذرات مس ميداخل محفظه سيال پايه بررسي شده است. نانو سيال بولتزمندرصد انجام گرفت. تاثير افزايش غلظت ذرات 3تا 0و كسر حجمي نانو ذرات بين 10تا 1/0و عدد ريچاردسون بين 104ثابت
