A numerical simulation based on a combined Euler and Lagrange method is investigated in this work to simulate the flow and migration of nanoparticles in a single channel. The motion of discrete nanoparticles is determined by the Lagrangian trajectory method based on the Newton’s second law that includes the influence of the body force, various hydrodynamic forces, the Brownian motion and the thermophoresis force. The coupling of discrete particles with continuous flow is realized through the modification of the source term of the continuous equation. The results reveal the two-phase flow nature of nanoparticle suspensions and their implications to the convective heat transfer of nanofluids.
