Abstract EN

The effect of nanofluids on chaotic convection in a fluid layer heated from below was studied in this paper for low Prandtl number based on the theory of dynamical systems.

A low-dimensional, Lorenz-like model was obtained using Galerkin-truncated approximations.

The fourth-order Runge-Kutta method was employed to solve the nonlinear system.

The results show that inhibition of chaotic convection can be observed when using nanofluids.
