Oscillatory flow of Koo–Kleinstreuer and aggregate nanofluids in cylindrical annuli: Toward an innovative solution to deal with nanofluids instability

This paper exhibits the oscillatory characteristics of a free convective flow of nanofluids in horizontal concentric annuli of pilot dimensions to provide a mechanical solution against their particles settling which occurs by aggregation. These…

Heat transfer enhancement inside channel by using the Lattice Boltzmann Method

In this study, the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is employed in order to examine the fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer inside a two-dimensional horizontal channel with and without obstacles. In order to enhance the heat and thermal…

New experimental approach to accelerate the development of internal swelling reactions (ISR) in massive concrete structures

Internal Swellings Reactions (ISR) are pathologies that are likely to degrade concrete by causing swelling, cracking and major disorders in structures. Many laboratory studies of internal swelling reactions are realized on relatively small size…

Darcy Brinkman Equations for Hybrid Dusty Nanofluid Flow with Heat Transfer and Mass Transpiration

In the current work, we have investigated the flow past a semi-infinite porous solid media, after presenting a similarity transformation, governing equations mapped to a system of non-linear PDE. The flow of a dusty fluid and heat transfer through a…

Time-Periodic Cooling of Rayleigh–Bénard Convection

The problem of Rayleigh–Bénard’s natural convection subjected to a temporally periodic cooling condition is solved numerically by the Lattice Boltzmann method with multiple relaxation time (LBM-MRT). The study finds its interest in the field of…
