Abstract
In recent years, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has become an alternative and attractive approach to simulate numerous fluid flow problems. A colloidal mixture of nano-sized particles in a base liquid called nanofluid, which is the new generation of heat transfer fluid for various heat transfer applications, has recently been demonstrated to have great potential for improving the heat transfer properties of liquids. This paper intends to provide a brief review of researches on application of lattice Boltzmann method on the prediction of nanofluid and identifies opportunities for future research.
