In this study, free convection heat transfer in a concentric annulus between a cold square and heated elliptic cylinders in presence of magnetic field is investigated. The square and elliptic cylinders are maintained at uniform temperatures and it is assumed that the walls are insulating...

This paper confirms the reliability and the computational efficiency of the lattice Boltzmann method in simulating natural convection in porous media at the representative elementary volume scale. The influence of porous media is considered by introducing the porosity to the equilibrium...

In recent years, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has become an alternative and attractive approach to simulate numerous fluid flow problems. A colloidal mixture of nano-sized particles in a base liquid called nanofluid, which is the new generation of heat transfer fluid for various heat...
