..., the lattice Boltzmann method is used. Also, the curved boundary scheme is used to enhance the capability of lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in the simulation of natural convection in curved boundaries. In addition, the second law analysis is used based on total and local approaches. Findings To improve...

... the heat transfer rate based on the location of active part of side walls. Shahi et al. (2011) used the second law analysis during natural convection inside a square cavity filled with copper–water nanofluid containing a heat source. The results indicated that the effect of nanofluid on average...

... and temperature distributions within the computational domain. Furthermore, the local/volumetric second law analysis is used to show the impact of evaluated parameters on the heat transfer irreversibility. In addition, the dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity of TiO2-water nanofluid are measured by using...

... The originality of this work is carrying out a comprehensive investigation of nanofluid flow and heat transfer during natural convection using lattice Boltzmann method and employing second law analysis and heatline visualization. For the velocity and temperature fields, the f and g will be used, respectively...
