Three-dimensional turbulent mixed convection flow using nanofluids in horizontal concentric annuli is numerically simulated. The continuity, Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved using finite volume method (FVM) and the SIMPLE algorithm scheme is applied to examine the effects of turbulent f...
