摘要
In this research, three-dimensional simulation of nanofluid flow over an inclined step is investigated numerically. The considered nanofluid in this study is a mixture composed by water as base fluid and nanoparticles of silver (Ag), such that the range of volume fraction of these nanoparticles has been changed from 0 to 0.2. The effects of these volume fractions on the hydrodynamics and thermal behaviors are analyzed with all details. Results show that the volume fraction of nanoparticles has a greater influence on the temperature distributions than velocity distributions. Also, the increase of nanoparticles volume fraction leads to a significant enhancement in the friction coefficient, mean bulk temperature and Nusselt number.
