Abstract
Nanofluids, composed of nanoparticles dispersed within a base fluid like water or oil, enhance fluid properties, notably improving heat transfer efficiency. Models of nanofluid flow combine the Navier–Stokes and energy equations for fluid motion with an equation for the nanoparticles. Several studies have investigated nanofluid flow over a flat plate (Buongiorno , 2006; Avramenko et al , 2011; MacDevette et al , 2014), yet previous models have often relied on oversimplifications and inconsistent assumptions. In addition, the effect of nanofluids on hydrodynamic processes and their potential to favourably control unstable behaviour and laminar-turbulent transition have yet to be studied. This investigation concerns the implementation of a physically accurate nanofluid model that encompasses the interaction between nanoparticles and base fluid without resorting to assumptions. The goal is to determine how nanofluids impact disturbances within the boundary-layer flow over a flat plate and, more specifically, their influence on Tollmien–Schlichting (TS) waves.
