Abstract Nanofluid film on a horizontal tube is investigated numerically on the circular and multi-faceted cylinder. The fluid flow characteristics, including film
thickness, shear stress, and thermal performance, are observed and analyzed. Fluid film on the circular surface is typical in many engineering
applications, but the study of nanofluid film on non-circular surface is deficient in literature. The study provides a numerical model of a multi-faceted
cylinder to simulate the nanofluid film on the non-circular surfaces using a volume of fluid (VOF) method. The ratio of Brownian motion to
thermophoretic diffusion, NBT developed along the film thickness More >
