Abstract :
In this article we utilized the Lattice Boltzmann Method to study the behavior of nanofluids submitted to a temperature gradient. For this, we study the thermal square cavity problem with nanofluids, which are simulated considering a single phase, with the fluid characteristics altered by the presence of the nanoparticles.
