Description
Description
The present problem simulates a magnetic field’s effect on a nanofluid in a two-dimensional channel using ANSYS Fluent software. We perform this CFD project and investigate it by CFD analysis.
The present model is designed in two dimensions using Design Modeler software. The model is a channel drawn in two dimensions due to its symmetrical geometry.
This model has a length and width of 0.49 m and 0.01 m; It has an input boundary on the left and an output boundary on the right, and the lower boundary of this area is defined as the central axis. Also adjacent to the channel’s outer wall, a boundary is defined as the fluid and solid region interface.
The meshing of the present model has been done using ANSYS Meshing software. The mesh type is Structured, and the element number equals 9282.
Magnetic Field Methodology
Whenever particles of metal or alloy with tiny dimensions around the nano-scale are mixed inside the base fluid, nanofluid is produced that can have applications such as enhancing heat transfer due to the metals’ conductivity.
Also, in this simulation, the effect of a magnetic field on the nanofluid behavior and its heat transfer has been investigated. Therefore, the magnetic hydro-dynamic model or MHD has been used. The magnetic induction method has been used in the present work to define the magnetic field.
When this method is used, an external magnetic field is generated to apply a specific magnetic flux in different Cartesian coordinates’ directions.
The nanofluid defined in the model is made of iron oxide called Fe3O4 and contains 2% nanoparticles. This applied nanofluid has a density of 1081.158 kg/m3, a specific heat capacity equal to 3841 j/kg.K, a thermal conductivity equal to 0.640835 W/m.K, and a viscosity equal to 0.001055 kg/m.s Is.
A constant magnetic field is used in the present work, and the magnetic flux equivalent to 1 tesla is defined only along the y-axis or the same as the channel radius.
In terms of boundary conditions, the insulation condition is used for the outer wall of the channel, i.e., no electric current passes, and also for the inner wall and the common boundary between the solid and fluid parts of the model, the Coupling condition is used to transmit electric current bilaterally.
The nanofluid stream enters the channel with a velocity of 0.0837 ms-1 and a temperature of 300 K. It exits the canal with a pressure equal to atmospheric pressure. The channel’s outer wall also has a constant thermal temperature condition of a temperature equal to 320 K.
The laminar model and the energy equation are enabled to solve the turbulent fluid equation and calculate temperature distribution inside the domain, respectively.
Magnetic Field Conclusion
At the end of the solution process, we obtain two-dimensional contours related to pressure, velocity, temperature, and magnetic field in horizontal and vertical directions in the model.
Also, we obtain the diagram of the perpendicular magnetic field changes in the longitudinal direction of the central axis of the channel. The present results show the effect of applying a magnetic field and thermal boundary condition on nanofluid flow and its heat transfer.

The appliance of magnetic field is amazing in enhancing heat transfer. The magnetic induction technique sounds intriguing. Are special materials or configurations required in practical applications to sustain the magnetic field? And also, how does this apply to industries that rely heavily on thermal management?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your positive feedback! In practical applications, specific materials that can withstand or enhance the magnetic field, such as ferromagnetic materials or soft magnetic composites, may be required, especially for high-intensity fields. Configurations would involve careful placement of magnets or coils and consideration of the overall system’s magnetic permeability. In industries like electronics, automotive, aerospace, etc., efficient thermal management is critical, and the use of nanofluids under a magnetic field could potentially lead to more effective cooling systems, heat exchangers, or even electronic component cooling, translating into enhanced performance and reliability.

The simulation’s insightful analysis was great, especially how the external magnetic field influenced the nanofluid behavior. How significant was the impact of the magnetic field, considering the adjusted parameters? Were you able to measure the efficiency change in heat transfer?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your compliments on the simulation! The magnetic field notably affected the nanofluid’s thermo-physical properties. By applying a magnetic flux of 1 tesla, we could observe that both fluid dynamics and heat transfer rates within the nanofluid were altered compared to a scenario without magnetic influence. The change in heat transfer efficiency was quantified in our study and reflected in the temperature and velocity contours, showcasing the power of magneto-hydrodynamic control over nanofluid behavior.

Prof. Riley Veum –
I am very interested to know how the simulation actually demonstrates the impact of the magnetic field on the heat transfer enhancement. Can you explain this effect with some results?
MR CFD Support –
The simulation showcases the impact of the magnetic field on heat transfer enhancement in nanofluids by demonstrating changes in fluid flow and temperature distribution. Within the magnetic field, the movement of the nanofluid particles changes due to the Lorenz force, which can lead to altered thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer rates. Thus, the contours of temperature and velocity provide insights into how the magnetic field influences the overall heat transfer efficiency of the nanofluid. The increase in thermal conductivity and alterations to flow patterns in the presence of a magnetic field contribute to the heat transfer enhancement, as illustrated in the results of the simulation.
