The objective of the present work is to investigate the influence of nanoparticles of copper within the base fluid (water) on magneto-hydrodynamic mixed-convection flow in a square cavity with internal generation. A control finite volume method and SIMPLER algorithm are used in the numerical calculations. The geometry is a lid-driven square cavity with four interior square adiabatic obstacles. A uniform heat source is located in a part of the left wall and a part of the right wall of the enclosure is maintained at cooler temperature while the remaining parts of the two walls are thermally insulated. Both the upper and bottom walls of the cavity are considered to be adiabatic. A comparison with previously published works shows a very good agreement. It is observed that the Richardson number, Ri, significantly alters the behavior of streamlines when increased from 0.1 to 100.0. Also, the heat source position parameter, D, significantly changes the pattern of isotherms and its strength shifted when D moves from 0.3 to 0.7.
Through the aim of this study, the effects of combined buoyancy-driven flows and thermo capillary flows, which are emerged from temperature differences, on fluid flow and heat transfer numerically investigated with differentially heated side walls in a free surface square cavity. The study has been accomplished with three milestones to achieve the right solutions. For every milestone Navier-Stokes, continuity and energy equations are discretized by using finite volume method and grids with 52 x 52 control volumes. Results are presented Pr=1, Pr=7 and Pr=100. The effect of positive and negative Marangoni number on fluid flow and heat transfer at different Rayleigh number are considered and discussed.
