Abstract
⺠Two-phase modeling for simulation of natural convection of nanofluids is made. ⺠Particles migration which changes convection heat transfer is illustrated. ⺠Slip velocities cause nanoparticles to move and make the nanofluid nonhomogeneous. ⺠Nonhomogeneity means that density changes with temperature and volume fraction. ⺠Shrinkage of main circulation is the reason of decrease of natural convection.
