Numerical study of natural convection nanofluids flow in tilted cavities with a partially thermally heat source

Numerically, natural convection heat transfer of nanofluids in a two-dimensional tilt square enclosure was investigated, with a partial heat source embedded on the bottom wall subject to a fixed heat flux. The remaining portions of the horizontal bottom wall are assumed to be adiabatic, while the up...
