CFD studies on natural convection heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluids

This work is focused on numerical simulations of natural convection heat transfer in Al2O3-water nanofluids using computational fluid dynamics approach. Fluent v6.3 is used to simulate water based nanofluid considering it as a single phase. Thermo-physical properties of the nanofluids are considered...
