Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The previous two decades have witnessed a significant scientific and industrial revolution in the field of nanotechnology, which has unquestionably impacted all scientific disciplines and applications. The current Special Issue focuses on developing the computational aspects of nanofluid flow associated with heat transfer. It targets problem modeling, numerical analysis, algorithms and techniques, and conducts an analysis of the properties of the heat-transfer process in nanofluids. Moreover, it asseses the use of machine and deep learning methods in the heat-transfer process in nanofluids.

This Special Issue on the “Recent Computational Aspect of Nanofluids and Heat Transfer” invites submissions of advanced research that focuses on the latest novel advances using both numerical and machine learning techniques in relation to nanofluid flow.

The topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Modeling and simulation of nanofluid flow with heat transfer;
  • New numerical algorithms for nanofluid flow with heat transfer;
  • Heat and mass transfer in nanofluid dynamics;
  • Stability analysis of heat transfer in nanofluids;
  • Error analysis and solution properties of heat transfer in nanofluids;
  • Interaction of nanofluids with magnetic field;
  • Thermodynamics aspect of heat transfer in nanofluids;
  • Machine/deep learning techniques for nanofluid dynamics;
  • Physical/mathematical aspects of nanofluid flow and heat transfer;
  • Multiscale modeling of nanofluid dynamics.

Engineering and technological research groups are becoming interested in neural network techniques to improve productivity, business strategies, and societal development. In this paper, an explicit numerical scheme is given for both linear and nonlinear differential equations. The scheme is correct to second order. Additionally, the scheme’s consistency and stability are guaranteed. Backpropagation of Levenberg–Marquardt, the effect of including an induced magnetic field in a mathematical model for electrical boundary layer nanofluid flow on a flat plate, is quantitatively investigated using artificial neural networks. Later, the model is reduced into a set of boundary value problems, which are then resolved using the suggested scheme and a shooting strategy. The outcomes are also contrasted with earlier studies and the MATLAB solver bvp4c for validation purposes. In addition, neural networking is also employed for mapping input to outputs for velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. These results prove that artificial neural networks can make precise forecasts and optimizations. Using a neural network to optimize the fluid flow in an electrical boundary layer while subjected to an induced magnetic field is a promising application of the suggested computational scheme. Fluid dynamics benefits greatly from combining numerical methods and artificial neural networks, which could lead to new developments in various fields. Results from this study may aid in optimizing fluid systems, leading to greater productivity and effectiveness in numerous technical fields. Full article

In this paper, a multi-point flux mixed-finite-element decoupled method was considered for the compressible miscible displacement problem. For this compressible problem, a fully discrete backward Euler scheme was proposed, in which the velocity and pressure equations were decoupled by a multi-point flux MFE method using BDM1 elements combined with a trapezoidal quadrature rule. The concentration equation was handled by a standard FE method. The error analysis for velocity, pressure, and concentration were rigorously derived. Numerical experiments to verify the convergence rates and simulate the miscible displacement problem of a water–oil system were presented. Full article
