Purpose This paper aims to adopt incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method for studying magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) double-diffusive natural convection from an inner open pipe in a cavity filled with a nanofluid. Design/methodology/approach The Lagrangian description of the governing equations was solved using the current ISPH method. The effects of two pipe shapes as a straight pipe and V-pipe, length of the pipe LPipe (0.2-0.8), length of V-pipe LV (0.04-0.32), Hartmann parameter Ha (40-120), solid volume fraction ϕ (0-0.1) and Lewis number Le (1-50) on the heat and mass transfer of nanofluid have been investigated. Findings The results demonstrate that the average Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are increased by increment on the straight-pipe length, V-pipe length, Hartmann parameter, solid volume fraction and Lewis number. In addition, the variation on the open pipe shapes gives a suitable choice for enhancement heat and mass transfer inside the cavity. The control parameters of the open pipes can enhance the heat and mass transfer inside a cavity. In addition, the variation on the open pipe shapes gives a suitable choice for enhancement heat and mass transfer inside the cavity. Originality/value ISPH method is developed to study the MHD double-diffusive natural convection from the novel shapes of the inner heated open pipes inside a cavity including straight-pipe and V-pipe shapes.

In many industrial processes or natural phenomena, coupled heat and mass transfer and fluid flow take place in configurations combining a clear fluid and a porous medium. Since the pioneering work by Beavers and Joseph (1967), the modeling of such systems has been a controversial issue, essentially due to the description of the interface between the fluid and the porous domains. The validity of the so-called one-domain approach—more intuitive and numerically simpler to implement—compared to a two-domain description where the interface is explicitly accounted for, is now clearly assessed. This paper reports recent developments and the current state of the art on this topic, concerning the numerical simulation of such flows as well as the stability studies. The continuity of the conservation equations between a fluid and a porous medium are examined and the conditions for a correct handling of the discontinuity of the macroscopic properties are analyzed. A particular class of problems dealing with thermal and double diffusive natural convection mechanisms in partially porous enclosures is presented, and it is shown that this configuration exhibits specific features in terms of the heat and mass transfer characteristics, depending on the properties of the porous domain. Concerning the stability analysis in a horizontal layer where a fluid layer lies on top of a porous medium, it is shown that the onset of convection is strongly influenced by the presence of the porous medium. The case of double diffusive convection is presented in detail.

A particular class of problems dealing with thermal and double diffusive natural convection mechanisms in partially porous enclosures is presented, and it is shown that this configuration exhibits specific features in terms of the heat and mass transfer characteristics, depending on the properties of the porous domain. From the viewpoint of the stability of convection in a horizontal layer where a fluid layer lies on top of a porous medium, the analysis shows that the onset of convection is strongly influenced by the presence of the porous medium. The case of thermal convection is fully detailed and many open problems arise in the field of double diffusive convection.

This paper reports a numerical study of double-diffusive natural convection through an annular space delimited by a square cylinder on the outside and a cylindrical cylinder on the inside covered by a porous layer. The Darcy-Brinkmann-Forchheimer is used for modeling flow in both fluid and porous areas. The annular space is partially or completely filled with an isotropic porous medium. A finite volume method, using the Patankar-Spalding technique is used for solving the discretization of the dimensionless equations governing the problem. The effects of simultaneously applied thermal and solutal buoyancy forces on heat and mass transfer are shown in the results for a large range of buoyancy ratios N, Rayleigh number, and thermal conductivity. Streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations are presented to analyze the flow structure transition from mass species dominated to thermal dominated flow. Results show that the buoyancy ratio can change the flow pattern and the increased thermal conductivity ratio can improve heat and mass transfer. A good agreement was obtained between the present results and those published were found.
