Abstract

The ISPH method is utilized for analyzing the influences of a magnetic field on thermosolutal convection of solid particles spreading within a finned cavity. The nanofluid-filled cavity is containing four vertical fins and an embedded square shape involved solid particles over a square blockage. The governing equations of nanofluid flow and spreading of the solid particles were solved jointly by the ISPH method. The vertical walls, four fins, and an inner square blockage are maintained at Tc and Cc. The embedded square shape with gates and the plane walls are adiabatic. The solid particles are kept at Th and Ch for the duration of the simulation. The propagating of the solid particles and contours of the isothermal, isoconcentration, and streamlines below the impacts of the pertinent parameters are examined. The accomplished simulations recalled that the solid particles propagating often move towards the upper area of a cavity. As a result, the fin on the upper wall acts as an effective tool for adjusting the spread of the solid particles. The blending between solid and fluid particles is affected by an increment in the Hartman parameter. The values of Soret and Dufour numbers (Sr=2&Du=0.03) are reducing the blending of the solid particles within a nanofluid flow.
