... forces in the opposite directions) may result in decrease of the heat transfer rate. Works involving fluid media, porous media and nanofluids (with magnetohydrodynamics) have been highlighted. Various numerical and experimental works on mixed convection have been elucidated. Flow and thermal maps...

...Majid Siavashi; Shirzad Iranmehr Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze a new idea for external flow over a cylinder to increase the heat transfer and reduce pressure drop. Using wedge-shaped porous media in the front and wake regions of the cylinder can improve its hydrodynamic...

...Mustafa Turkyilmazoglu Purpose This paper aims to working out exact solutions for the boundary layer flow of some nanofluids over porous stretching/shrinking surfaces with different configurations. To serve to this aim, five types of nanoparticles together with the water as base fluid are under...

...Mehdi Miansari; M Gorji; D. D. Ganji; Kamel Hooman Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to improve the volume-averaged models for free convection flow in porous media. Design/methodology/approach – A pore scale simulation is conducted against which an independent volume-averaged solver...
