Numerical Simulation of Natural Convection in an Inclined Cavity Filled with Ionanofluid

2026Open accessUniversité Ibn Zohr

Abstract

This work presents a numerical study of natural convection heat transfer in a cavity filled with an ionanofluid. The governing equations are solved using the finite volume method and the SIMPLEC algorithm. This study aims to analyze the effects of key parameters influencing the flow structure and heat transfer, including the Rayleigh number (Ra), the volume fraction (), the inclination angle, and the type of base fluid.The results indicate that increasing the volume fraction () enhances heat transfer and underscores the superiority of ionic fluids over water as a base fluid. Additionally, heat transfer reaches its maximum at a specific inclination angle.
