  • Comparative simulations on nanofluids: a case study based on natural circulation mini-loops [Elektronski vir]
    Sezgin, Firat ...
    Research on nanofluid heat transfer has been performed either via experimental settings developed to stand as the lab-scale twin of the real system, or numerical analysis accompanied by ... application-specific simulations with carefully selected boundary and initial conditions, algorithms, and convergence criteria. For some time, nanofluids heat transfer has been simulated by means of one-phase or two-phase methods, and when possible, the results from these two approaches have been compared to each other/a benchmark case (experiment results) based on convergence, error margins, representability, and comprehensiveness. This work, as the first report of our ongoing long-term research, aims to present a systematic comparison between the one-phase and two-phase simulation results, in comparison to the experimental demonstration of the system of choice. Al2O3-water nanofluids are considered to be employed in a single-phase natural circulation mini-loop (SPNCmL). Two independent one-phase simulations (via ANSYS CFX and ANSYS FLUENT), while we also report on ongoing efforts in developing two-phase simulation strategy in OpenFoam. The results of this work are expected to shed a light on the long-waited problem to be answered: “One-phase vs. two-phase nanofluid modeling: which to choose?”
