Mesoscopic method for MHD nanofluid flow inside a porous cavity considering various shapes of nanoparticles
Introduction
One of the great kinetic based theory approaches is LBM. In this mesoscopic method, pressure can be obtained by using equation of state. Mustafa et al. [1] investigated rotating flow with non-uniform conductivity. They utilized non-Fourier heat flux theory. Sultana and Hyder [2] reported the natural convection in a sinusoidal porous cavity. Sheikholeslami et al. [3] illustrated nanofluid forced convection in existence of non-uniform Lorentz forces. Nanofluid convection in 3D enclosure has been reported by Sheikholeslami and Ellahi [4]. Sheikholeslami [5] applied LBM for simulation of nanofluid flow in a permeable media in existence of magnetic field. Sheikholeslami and Shehzad [6] reported the impact of thermal radiation on ferrofluid motion. They were taken into account variable viscosity. Nithyadevi et al. [7] presented the impact of tilted angle on nanofluid mixed convection in a permeable media.
Sheikholeslami and Bhatti [8] illustrated the impact of shape factor on ferrofluid forced convection. Sheikholeslami and Zeeshan [9] simulated nanofluid movement in a permeable medium with constant heat flux. Conjugate heat transfer of nanofluid was reported by Selimefendigil and Oztop [10]. They considered various inclination angles. Uddin et al. [11] investigated the blowing impact on nanofluid flow. Sheikholeslami [12] demonstrated the three dimensional nanofluid forced convection in a cubic cavity. Hayat et al. [13] examined the MHD nanofluid flow over a plate. Impact of variable Kelvin forces on ferrofluid motion was reported by Sheikholeslami Kandelousi [14]. Heat flux boundary condition has been utilized by Sheikholeslami and Shehzad [15] to investigate the ferrofluid flow in a porous media. Nanoparticle movement in a channel in existence of Lorentz forces was demonstrated by Akbar et al. [16]. Sheikholeslami and Bhatti [17] utilized active methods for augmentation in heat transfer. Sheremet et al. [18] demonstrated transient nanofluid flow in a permeable cavity. In recent years, different researchers reported about nanofluid heat transfer [19], [6], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42].

Influences of shape of nanoparticle, nanofluid volume fraction, Darcy number, Hartmann and Rayleigh numbers on hydrothermal behavior are demonstrated.

Results and discussion
Water based nanofluid convective flow in a permeable cavity with four square obstacles is simulated in existence of magnetic field. Two obstacles are hot and others are cold. LBM has been employed to simulate this problem. KKL model is utilized to estimate . Numerical simulation is completed by presenting the influence of active parameters namely: shape of nanoparticles; nanofluid volume fraction (–), Hartmann number (–), Darcy number (–), Rayleigh number (–
Conclusions
Nanofluid natural convective heat transfer inside a permeable cavity with four square obstacles is modeled using LBM. KKL model is considered for nanofluid. Influences of Rayleigh number, shape of nanoparticles, CuO-H2O volume fraction, Hartmann and Darcy numbers on heat transfer treatment are reported. Results demonstrate that Darcy number can enhance the temperature gradient. Temperature gradient increases with enhance of Ra but it detracts with rise of magnetic field.
