Sumario:Abstract A nanofluid containing water and nanoparticles made of copper (Cu) inside a cavity with square shape is simulated utilizing the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The nanoparticles made up 15% of the nanofluid. By performing the simulation, the CFD output is characterized by the coordinates in the x, y, nanofluid temperature, and velocity in the y-direction that these outputs are obtained for different physical time iterations. Moreover, the CFD outputs are examined by one of the artificial techniques, i.e. adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). For this purpose, the data was clustered via grid partition clustering, and the type of membership functions (MFs) was chosen product of two sigmoidal membership functions (psigmf). After reaching 99.9% of intelligence in ANFIS, the nanofluid temperature is predicted for the entire data, which are included in the learning processes. The results showed that the method of ANFIS can predict the thermal properties in different physical times at different computing points without having a training background at those times. Additionally, this study shows that with three membership functions at each input, the model’s accuracy is higher than four functions.
