Mixture model using nanofluid
 

Dear All,

Could you tell me how to use mixture model in Fluent for nanofluids?

There are two phases, one is fluid (water) and one is solid (nanoparticle). I first create a solid material in the fluid material properties. Then for the primary phase, I consider all the water properties and secondary phase, I considered all the nanoparticle properties.

But where I will implement the effective values of density, specific heat, viscosity and thermal conductivity of nanofluids?

Kind Regards

GS
