Magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid radiative thermal behavior by means of Darcy law inside a porous media

Sci Rep. 2019 Sep 4;9(1):12765. doi: 10.1038/s41598-019-49269-9.

Abstract

Radiative nanomaterial thermal behavior within a permeable closed zone with elliptic hot source is simulated. Darcy law is selected for simulating permeable media in existence of magnetic forces. Contour plots for various buoyancy, Hartmann numbers and radiation parameter were illustrated. Carrier fluid is Al2O3-water with different shapes. Outputs prove that conduction mode augments with enhance of Ha. Nu augments with considering radiation source term.
