How can I model nanofluids with single and 2 phase approach ?

safikhani_hamed · August 2, 2011, 03:05

Dear my friends,
I am going to simulate nanofluids in CFX but I do not know how can do single phase approach and how can do 2 phase approach ?

sincerely

Do the CFX tutorials. They explain how to do single and multi phase simulations.

Dear my friend,
Please note that this multi phase in nanofluid is different with that of for example gas-solid or etc., in fact I want to know about two phase modeling in nanofluids ?

sincerely

I am well aware of the fact that traditional multiphase models are of limited application to nanofluids. A vague question will get a vague answer.

CFX has no models built in specifically for nanofluids, so all you can do is look at the existing multiphase models and see if they are appropriate.
