The effects of wavy-wall phase shift on thermal-hydraulic performance of Al2O3–water nanofluid flow in sinusoidal-wavy channel

In this paper, laminar forced convection flow of Al2O3–water nanofluid in sinusoidal-wavy channel is numerically studied. The two-dimensional governing equations of continuity, momentum and energy equations in body-fitted coordinates are solved using finite volume method. The sinusoidal-wavy channel...
