The bottom and vertical walls are kept insulated, whereas the top moving wall is maintained at a low temperature Tc. An obstacle of a relatively higher temperature Th is located on the bottom wall of the cavity. The governing equations are discretized using the finite volume method and SIMPLER algorithm. Using a developed code, we accomplished a parametric study and analyzed the influence of important parameters, such as the Richardson number, solid volume fraction of Al2O3 nanoparticles, cavity inclination angles, height of a hot obstacle, and the nanofluid temperature on the thermal behavior and flow characteristics.
